Overview

• Mikko Rantanen scored a natural hat trick in the second period, becoming the first player in NHL history to record multiple three-goal periods in the same postseason.
• Rantanen's three goals were part of a streak where he contributed to 12 consecutive Dallas goals, setting another NHL playoff record.
• Jake Oettinger made 30 saves for the Stars, staving off a late push by the Jets, who scored through Mark Scheifele and Nino Niederreiter.
• The Jets struggled on special teams, going 0-for-4 on the power play, a key area they aim to address before Game 2 on Friday in Winnipeg.
• Both teams welcomed back key injured players, with Jason Robertson returning for Dallas and Mark Scheifele rejoining Winnipeg's lineup.
