Create Account Officials reviewed Petrovic's goal for well over five minutes and while determining there was a kicking motion, the goal was good after the puck went off goalie Connor Hellebuyck's stick and into the net with 16:09 left. That all came off the rebound of the initial shot by Rantanen, who 49 seconds after play resumed scored his ninth goal of the playoffs — all coming in the last six games. Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Dallas. Roope Hintz had a goal and an assist for the Stars, and Wyatt Johnston added a late goal. Sam Steel and Mikael Granlund each had two assists. Rantanen, who has 18 points this post-season, had the primary assist on a power-play goal by Hintz only 2:27 in for a 1-0 lead. When Dallas scored again late in the first period for a 2-1 lead, Rantanen was on the ice for defenceman Thomas Harley's goal, but the assists went to Granlund and Steel. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. That ended Rantanen's NHL playoff-record streak of consecutive goals involved in at 13 in a row for the Stars since Game 5 of their first-round series against Colorado. Stars goalie Jake Oettinger stopped 23 shots. Hellebuyck, the odds-on favourite to win his third Vezina Trophy as the league's best goalie and also among three finalists for the Hart Trophy that goes to the MVP of the NHL regular season, dropped to 0-4 in road games this post-season after giving up five goals on 26 shots. Nino Niederreiter got Winnipeg even at 2-2 midway through the second period on his shot from the bottom of the right circle after Josh Morrissey made a nifty move to get around Stars centre Colin Blackwell before making the pass for the goal. The Stars had gone ahead 2-1 late in the first after Niederreiter tripped Granlund, who slid with the puck along the boards behind the net and got his knees to swipe it to Harley in the slot. Kyle Connor scored the first Winnipeg goal when he recovered a shot wide left of the net, then scored on a wrap-around goal that got under Oettinger's extended glove.

The Jets defeated the Stars, 4-0, and evened the series at 1-1. Well-respected for his skating ability, Haydn Fleury's speed and agility are enabling the Jets to keep up with the speedy and skilled Stars. Coach Scott Arniel praised Haydn Fleury's skating and said he's an asset in keeping Winnipeg forcing the pace. "He can skate out of trouble. Another guy that can be a part of that rush, a part of what we're talking about getting after Dallas here and getting on our toes. And that's what he brings to our game," Arniel said.

His work ethic and smooth skating have made a significant difference. Hayden Fleury added that playing big minutes in Game 7 was a huge confidence builder. "When you're called upon in that situation, then with Josh going out, it felt like you owe it to guys and the guys who aren't playing to put your best foot forward because they do so much for us. They're such big parts of our team and they would've killed to be out there," Fleury explained. Hayden Fleury is enjoying every moment now.
