Stars coach Pete DeBoer says this is the best response team he has had in Dallas. They keep responding and now go into Game 4 at home with a chance for a 3-1 series lead against the top-seeded Winnipeg Jets in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Dallas came away with one road win to start the series, setting itself up with home-ice advantage for Games 3 and 4. While the Stars won’t have top defenseman Miro Heiskanen for Sunday’s Game 3, Dallas has shown it can overcome multiple challenges in its postseason run.

The Dallas Stars’ pursuit of a second Stanley Cup took another step forward on Sunday when they defeated the Winnipeg Jets 5-2. Dallas now leads the Jets two games to one in the second round of the playoffs. Sunday’s win was not without some drama though, with a third period score by the Stars’ Alexander Petrovic.
