Game 44: Stars 4 Jets 3 in OT post-game recap

The Jets needed to get at least point in Dallas and while they had a chance to get a clean two points they battle back to force OT and fall to the Stars 4-3 in OT and their record falls to 19-17-8.

Notable:

Andrew Copp moved into a tie in 6th spot with Mathieu Perreault on the all time franchise games played list with 455 games.

Tonight marked the 100th game for Dylan DeMelo in a Winnipeg Jets uniform.

Goal number 19 for Pierre-Luc Dubois as he didn’t look like he had only skated once in the last ten days.

Jansen Harkins scored his fifth goal of the season which was a beauty top corner.

Brenden Dillon played an incredibly physical game which was best represented by his hit which demolished John Klingberg.

Needing a goal to send it to OT it was Mark Scheifele who put it home to tie the game with 32 seconds left in the 3rd.

A miscue in OT led to the Stars winning it.
