Brossoit clutch, Jets shine against Dallas Stars for fifth straight win

The Winnipeg Jets continued their impressive form in the National Hockey League (NHL) with a dominating performance against the Central Division rivals, the Dallas Stars, on Thursday, January 27, 2022. The Jets secured a shutout victory with a final score of 3-0, marking their fifth consecutive win in a row.

Connor Hellebuyck, the Jets' goaltender, put up a stellar performance between the pipes, stopping all 28 shots he faced to record his third shutout of the season and his seventh career shutout in the NHL. Hellebuyck's strong play in net was crucial in keeping the Stars at bay and preserving the Jets' lead throughout the game.

The Jets opened the scoring in the first period when Kyle Connor capitalized on a rebound in front of the net, with assists going to Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. In the second period, Scheifele added another goal to his tally, this time on a power play, with assists from Paul Stastny and Josh Morrissey. The third period saw a goal from Adam Lowry, with assists from Nate Schmidt and Evgeni Svechnikov, to put the game out of reach for the Stars.

The Jets' power play unit was particularly effective in this game, converting on two of their five opportunities. The team's penalty kill also held strong, denying all three power plays attempted by the Stars.

With this victory, the Jets solidified their position in third place in the Central Division standings, just three points behind the second-place St. Louis Blues. The team's impressive run of form has seen them climb up the table and challenge for a playoff spot in a highly competitive division.

The Dallas Stars, who have struggled in recent games, will be looking to bounce back when they face the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday, while the Jets will look to extend their winning streak when they take on the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.
