The Dallas Stars are once again back on top of the Winnipeg Jets following their 5-2 triumph on Sunday in Dallas. If they win Game 4, which is scheduled for Tuesday night, the Stars will have the opportunity to build a 3-1 series stranglehold over the Jets.
Dallas’s game-winning goal, credited to Alexander Petrovic, was upheld after a strenuous debate in the NHL situation room in Toronto.
The Jets unsuccessfully challenged that the puck was intentionally kicked into the goal. Winnipeg ended up on the wrong side of the review, as the goal was allowed to stand, but that doesn’t mean they agreed with the call.

Not surprisingly, Jets head coach Scott Arniel disagreed with the ruling. In fact, he spoke about specific sections of the rule book that he believes were overlooked as part of the decision.
