The Winnipeg Jets will be the next team for the Stars to beat. But it won’t be easy. The Jets may have taken seven games to defeat the St. Louis Blues, but they also won the Presidents' Trophy this season.

Eliminating the Jets won’t be easy, but with Miro Heiskanen and Jason Robertson expected to return sometime during this series, it’s a little less daunting a task.
