The Winnipeg Jets beat the Dallas Stars 5-1. Here are three talking points from the Jets’ impressive win over their Central Division foe.

The Winnipeg Jets had an intriguing Central Division matchup last night against the Dallas Stars at the Canada Life Centre.

This matchup pitted the top-two teams in the division against each other as the Jets entered this game two points behind the first place Stars, but Winnipeg has a game in hand on their counterparts.

Rick Bowness and the Winnipeg Jets coaching staff only made one change to the Jets’ lineup from their impressive 4-0 shutout win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon as Dylan Samberg replaced Kyle Capobianco.

The Jets continued their great run of form last night as they beat the Stars 5-1. Here are three talking points from the Jets’ third straight win:

3. The Point Streak Continues and a Perfect Homestand

The Jets entered this game on a great six-game point streak (5-0-1 record) which helped propel them up the standings.

Fortunately, things continued to go well for the Jets as they continued their point streak to seven games and now sit tied atop the division standings with a game in hand.

This win also capped off a perfect three-game homestand for the Jets as they started the homestand with a 3-2 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens last Thursday and then beat Chicago on Saturday. The Jets have a 5-1-0 record at the Canada Life Centre.
