Petrovic, who spent a large portion of the season in the AHL, scored the game-winning goal against the Jets to help give the Stars a 2-1 series lead. The goal needed a lengthy replay review before being ruled official, but it counted nevertheless.

The Dallas Stars left American Airlines Center on Sunday with a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets and a two-games-to-one lead in their second-round playoff series. During the second period, Stars forward Mason Marchment drove toward the Winnipeg net with what looked like a pretty solid scoring chance in front of him.

With the clock ticking toward the deadline on March 7, first-year Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky made the most of the situation and dealt Rantanen to the Stars, who then signed him to an eight-year, $96 million extension.

If you’re looking to local Stanley Cup history, the Stars in 1999 lost seven games in their entire run to the Cup in Buffalo. They lost six games by one goal (four of those in overtime). Their only two-goal loss was a 7-5 defeat against Colorado in Game 5.

Stanley Cup playoffs are here. The Winnipeg Jets are the NHL's top overall seed, having finished the regular season with the most points in the standings, and the Washington Capitals earned the No. 1 seed in the East.

Mikko Rantanen is on a history-making tear. The Florida Panthers need a history-making comeback.

For the first time in awhile, the Dallas Stars have an unstoppable scorer, and that has changed their offensive identity.
