That’s not good.
While there isn’t any reason to panic for the Dallas Stars, losing Game 5 to the Winnipeg Jets is less than ideal.

While a 4-0 shutout on the Jets’ home ice isn’t a great look, goalie Connor Hellebuyck hasn’t been great on the road. So you could say that the Stars have the Jets right where they want them.
At 13:28 of the third period in Thursday night’s game, Jamie Benn sucker punched Mark Scheifele during a scrum. The Stars' captain was given a minor penalty and a 10-minute misconduct.

The <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/dallas-stars">Dallas Stars </a>went into Game 5 with a prime opportunity to end the series early in Winnipeg. The Stars were coming off a previous Game 4 win that saw Mikael Granlund score a hat-trick. The Stars had a reversal of fortune on Thursday night, as they weren't able to break through the Winnipeg defense or Connor Hellebuyck.
The Department of Player Safety has examined the incident and decided to fine Benn $5000 for his roughing against Scheifele.
It is expected that the games will become more heated at this point in the series. The playoffs are a long grind, and emotions can get the better of these players. However, more drastic measures might be needed when someone has a history of this type of thing.
Game 6 of the series will be in Dallas on Saturday, May 17th. The broadcast should begin around 7:00 PM Central Time.
Hockey fans everywhere will be waiting to see how this series ends, as the winner will go on to play the Edmonton Oilers, who made short work of the Vegas Golden Knights by eliminating them in five games.
