The Stars are one win from a trip to the Western Conference finals after Tuesday’s 4-1 win vs. the Jets in Game 4 at American Airlines Center, and with a 3-1 series lead over the Presidents’ Trophy winners. Dallas, which has won two straight against Winnipeg, can advance to the next round with a Game 5 win Thursday at Canada Life Centre.

The Dallas Stars face the Winnipeg Jets in Game 4 of the second-round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.

The Dallas Stars face the Winnipeg Jets tonight in Game 4 of this seven-game series. Dallas has home ice, looking to build on a big 5-2 victory in Game 3.

First it was Cowboys’ first-round draft selection Tyler Booker at Stars’ Game 3 vs. the Winnipeg Jets. Now it’s Wings’ No. 1 overall selection Paige Bueckers down on the glass for Game 4. No word yet on whether Cooper Flagg is set to show up for a game or if his invitation from the Stars is contingent on his official draft selection.

The Dallas Stars will have a chance at home to extend their NHL Western Conference playoffs series lead over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night, May 13.

The Jets will be looking at this game as an absolute must-win as they should with a 3-1 series deficit virtually sealing their fate. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger has been sensational but has shown cracks with .908 save percentage in five home playoff starts.
