With a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Winnipeg Jets, the Dallas Stars are poised to clinch a spot in the Western Conference finals. The return of Miro Heiskanen has strengthened their lineup, which now boasts full health and recently acquired players. Dallas aims to secure the series with a swift victory to gain crucial rest before the next round.

Despite their success, the Stars have yet to hit their peak performance, raising concerns among opponents. Key players like Jason Robertson and Matt Duchene must elevate their game to maximize the team's potential. Robertson, recovering from injury, has recorded only one assist since his comeback. Duchene, although a leader in the regular season, is yet to score in the playoffs. Meanwhile, veterans like Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin must also find their scoring touch to support younger talents such as Wyatt Johnston, who is having a solid playoff showing.
