3 Talking Points: Winnipeg Jets Destroy Dallas Stars 5-1

2. Three Goals in Three Minutes

It felt like last year if the Jets would control the play as they did in the first period in this one, then would allow a goal, that would be it for the Jets. Their opponent would find their game and the Jets would falter.

But the 2022-2023 Jets look to be different as we watched last night. After the Jets dominated the first period, at the start of the second period Jason Robertson scored to put Dallas ahead. But 21 seconds later the Jets answered right back courtesy of Mark Scheifele.

Then 70 seconds later, the Jets took the lead as they capitalized on a Scott Wedgewood turnover in which Pierre-Luc Dubois scored.

Then less than two minutes later, Scheifele scored his second of the night. Kyle Connor made an outstanding individual play in the Stars’ defensive zone and Scheifele found quiet ice in the slot. Connor then made a terrific pass to Scheifele and the Jets’ number 55 slotted the puck home to give the Jets a 3-1 lead.

Saku Maenalanen was able to score his first Jets goal towards the end of the second to put the Jets up 4-1 after two.

This was a fantastic second period for the Jets, especially the three minutes after Robertson scored.
