The Winnipeg Jets tied up their second-round matchup with the Dallas Stars Friday night, but as the series shifts to Texas they’ll be looking to do something they haven’t done so far in this year’s playoffs — win on the road.
Winnipeg lost all three road games in their first-round series against the St. Louis Blues, during which they were outscored 17-5. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck was pulled in all three of those games.
“That’s going to be a tough building,” Jets head coach Scott Arniel said after the team’s 4-0 win in Game 2 Friday night. “They grabbed home ice [advantage] from us by winning Game 1, so we’re going to have to win down there.”
Arniel said lessons were learned from the series against the Blues, and success in Dallas will depend on doing more of what led to Friday’s win.
