Petrovic, who spent a large portion of the season in the AHL, scored the game-winning goal against the Jets to help give the Stars a 2-1 series lead. The goal needed a lengthy replay review before being ruled official, but it counted nevertheless.

Barring a setback, Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is expected to return for Tuesday night's Game 4 against the visiting Winnipeg Jets, Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said.

The Carolina Hurricanes took a 3-1 series lead against the Washington Capitals after coming away with a 5-2 win in Game 4 on Monday. A similar scenario played out in the Western Conference as the Edmonton Oilers also gained a 3-1 series lead thanks to a 3-0 win versus the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4.

For the first time in awhile, the Dallas Stars have an unstoppable scorer, and that has changed their offensive identity.

The Dallas Stars left American Airlines Center on Sunday with a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets and a two-games-to-one lead in their second-round playoff series. During the second period, Stars forward Mason Marchment drove toward the Winnipeg net with what looked like a pretty solid scoring chance in front of him.

It was a far less dramatic game in Winnipeg as the Jets handily defeated the Dallas Stars, 4-0, to tie their second-round series at one game apiece. Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers recorded a goal and an assist, while goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 22 shots that he faced for his first shutout this postseason.
