The scoring streak by Rantanan included back-to-back games when he had four-point periods in the first round against Colorado, his former team. He was the first player to ever do that, in the playoffs or the regular season.

Dallas – Mikko Rantanen had a goal and two assists, including on the tiebreaking goal by Alexander Petrovic that was finally confirmed after a lengthy review as the Dallas Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Sunday to take 2-1 lead in the second-round Western Conference series.

The Jets need a signature game from Scheifele, Connor and Vilardi — offensively and defensively — to avoid the brink of elimination.
