The Dallas Stars defeated the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in overtime in Game 6, eliminating the Jets and sending themselves to the Western Conference Finals for a rematch against the Edmonton Oilers. 

The first period ended scoreless, with little going on in terms of offence. The shots finished 6-4 in favour of the Stars.

The second period brought some offence by way of none other than Mark Scheifele, scoring the opening goal just mere hours after his father passed away. Unfortunately for the Jets, Sam Steel recorded his first goal of the postseason to tie the game. The period favoured the Jets, outshooting the Stars 12-8. 

Josh Morrissey awkwardly fell to the ice while tangled with Mikko Rantanen, forcing him to exit the game, and he did not return for the third period. 

In the third, Mason Appleton had a glorious chance to take the lead, but a last-ditch effort by Jake Oettinger stoned the Jets forward, keeping the game tied at a goal apiece. Connor Hellebuyck made a pair of his own highlight-reel saves in the third period, denying Mikael Granlund of a sure goal and Rantanen, sending the game to overtime. 

In overtime, the Stars capitalized on their power play opportunity, which carried over from the end of the period. Thomas Harley found space in the slot, hammering the game-winner past Hellebuyck and sending the Stars to the Western Conference Finals.

The Jets' season comes to an end at an earlier stage than the team and the fans were hoping for. The Jets struggled on the road, losing all six games throughout the first two rounds. The Jets now head into an offseason filled with question marks. With several free agents, the Jets' general manager, Kevin Cheveldayoff, will have his hands full.
