Mikko Rantanen has turned heads with a stunning six-goal performance over the last two games as the Dallas Stars prepare to face the Winnipeg Jets in Game 2 of their playoff series. Coming off a victory in Game 1, the Stars aim to secure a commanding 2-0 lead at Canada Life Centre against a Jets team that dominated the regular season. Expect the Jets to ramp up their defensive efforts, likely employing double- and triple-teams on Rantanen to cool off his impressive scoring streak.

With the same lineup slated for Game 2, the Stars are keen on maintaining their winning momentum despite the absence of defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who is still recovering from knee surgery. The matchup offers a critical moment for the Stars to showcase their offensive depth against a usually formidable Jets defense.
