Dallas edged Winnipeg 5-4 on the road, sprinting to a 5-1 lead before Winnipeg narrowed the gap late. Mikko Rantanen opened the floodgates with a goal and two primary assists on Dallas’ first three strikes, anchoring a line that Manila-styled the early offense. Gulutzan rotated lines to keep the attack fresh and the energy high, while Dallas’ penalty kill slammed the door in the final minutes as the Jets pressed.
