The Stars escaped a series against Colorado by the skin of their teeth, thanks to some overtime heroics and one of the greatest revenge games in history by Rantanen. His greatness was enough to take Game 1 in Winnipeg, but the Jets are far too skilled of a group to relinquish leads every other night this series.

The Dallas Stars take on the Winnipeg Jets in Game 2 of their best-of-7 series in the Western Conference semifinals Friday at Canada Life Centre.

The Winnipeg Jets completed a late-game comeback for the ages to finish the first round. For the first time in the series between the St. Louis Blues and the Jets, overtime was required. In fact, these teams needed two overtimes to decide a winner.
