In a crucial playoff matchup, Connor Hellebuyck shone with 22 saves as the Winnipeg Jets blanked the Dallas Stars 4-0, forcing a Game 6 in the Western Conference semifinals. This victory for the Jets, bolstering their reputation as Presidents' Trophy winners, sent the series back to Dallas, where the stakes are high with Edmonton waiting for the eventual winner.

Nikolaj Ehlers was a standout for the Jets, netting two goals, while Mark Scheifele and Vladislav Namestnikov also contributed to the scoreline. Despite Jake Oettinger facing a barrage of shots, including 31 saves, the Stars struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, including a close-range shot from Tyler Seguin that hit the post.

The game also featured some rough play, with Stars captain Jamie Benn receiving a misconduct penalty after a late altercation with Scheifele. As the series unfolds, both teams are poised for an intense showdown in Game 6.
