Overtime Decider
Roope Hintz delivered the decisive blow in the extra period, scoring a breakaway goal to secure a 3-2 victory for the Dallas Stars over the Winnipeg Jets. The win improves Dallas’s record to 6-3-1 with 13 points, while Winnipeg falls to 4-3-3 with 11 points.
The game remained tight through regulation, requiring overtime to determine a winner. Hintz finished with two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist for a two-point performance. Jason Robertson contributed two assists for the Stars, who played their home contest at American Airlines Center before a crowd of 18,532.
Second Period Shifts
Dallas took the lead in the second period when Wyatt Johnston scored his first goal of the season. His snap shot found the back of the net, assisted by Mikko Rantanen and Jason Robertson, making it 1-0 for the home team. Winnipeg responded shortly after as Gabriel Vilardi tied the game with a snap shot of his own.
Dylan Samberg and Alex Iafallo recorded assists on the goal.
Kyle Connor then restored Winnipeg’s advantage later in the period with his ninth goal of the season. A slap shot from Connor was assisted by Neal Pionk, giving the Jets a 2-1 lead they would hold until late in the third period.
