No celebration yet as Stars shut out by Jets, remain one win away from division clinch

A 3-0 Winnipeg win applies some pressure on Dallas, which must win one of its final two regular season games to claim the Central.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit stops Dallas Stars left wing Jamie Benn during the second period of an NHL hockey game at the American Airlines Center on Thursday, April 11, 2024, in Dallas.

While all the variables lined up for the Stars entering their matchup with the Winnipeg Jets, Dallas couldn’t take care of the one thing it could control.The Stars suffered their third shutout loss of the season by a 3-0 finish against the Jets on home ice, losing their first game against the divisional foe this year. Dallas struggled to possess the puck all game and was stifled by Winnipeg’s elite defense.

But the Jets managed to do so without their best player — Vezina frontrunner Connor Hellebuyck — who was resting for Saturday’s game against Colorado, which could decide first-round playoff seeding for the first round.Even when they did have chances, luck wasn’t in their favor. A breakaway by Logan Stankoven and Wyatt Johnston early in the second period was stopped by a penalty for Winnipeg dislodging the goal. Another shot by Johnston with 52.
