Second straight game Winnipeg Jets play a relentless one defeating the Stars 4-0 and taking stranglehold on 1st in Central

Folks were questioning if the Jets could play a second consecutive stellar game and that’s just what they did going into Dallas and defeating the Stars 4-0 to take a stranglehold on 1st place in the Central. They now have a six point lead on them with each team having three games left. All Winnipeg needs to do is gain a single point (or have Dallas drop a single point i.e. lose a game in OT) and they will win the Central.
