Dallas Stars Advance Western Conference Final After OT Win Over Jets

The Dallas Stars advanced to the Western Conference Final for the third consecutive year by defeating the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in overtime in Game 6. Thomas Harley scored the game-winning goal 93 seconds into overtime on a power play, assisted by Tyler Seguin and Mason Marchment, after Jets forward Mark Scheifele committed a late tripping penalty. Sam Steel also scored for the Stars, and goalie Jake Oettinger made key saves to secure the victory. The Jets were unable to win any road games in the series and ended their playoff run without a road win. The Stars will face the Edmonton Oilers in the conference final, a rematch of last year's series in which the Oilers prevailed in six games. Despite the Jets playing under difficult emotional circumstances following the unexpected death of Scheifele's father, they were unable to overcome the Stars’ home-ice advantage and strong postseason performance.
