2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Winnipeg Jets vs Dallas Stars pre-game 3 report

Getting you set up for Game 3 of Round 2.

Will the Jets be able to maintain the momentum they built up from a 4-0 win in Game 2 to even their series or will their playoff road woes continue? Will the Stars be able to get back to their style of play?

We learned on Saturday from Dallas head coach Pete DeBoer’s media availability that they will not have Miro Heiskanen for the game this afternoon as he ruled him out. While the top pairing Dman has been out of the lineup since late January even if he wasn’t fully healthy you’d have to think he could have an impact.
