Jets in danger of elimination

DALLAS – The road woes continued and the Winnipeg Jets have been pushed to the brink of elimination by the Dallas Stars.

After dropping a 3-1 decision to the Stars on Tuesday, the Jets now trail the best-of-seven Central Division series three games to one.

Game 5 is set for Thursday night at Canada Life Centre at 8:30 p.m.

Stars trade-deadline acquisition Mikael Granlund notched a hat trick (including two power-play markers), while Nikolaj Ehlers scored the lone goal for the Jets – who have now dropped nine consecutive road playoff games dating back to the 2021 first-round series with the Vegas Golden Knights.

While the Stars went two-for-four with the man-advantage, the Jets were zero-for-two and are now one-for-15 on the power play in this series.

Stars goalie Jake Oettinger finished with 31 saves, while Connor Hellebuyck made 21 saves for the Jets.
