Line Combinations: Jets at Stars
Nov 12, 2026 8:48 PM

Winnipeg seeks to snap a six-game skid against Dallas as surging forwards and a returning Josh Morrissey aim to extend the Jets' winning streak to five games.

On Thursday, the Winnipeg Jets will look to carry the momentum from Tuesday’s impressive 4-2 win over the New Jersey Devils into a divisional showdown against one of their biggest rivals, the Dallas Stars. 

The matchup marks the final game of a challenging stretch for Winnipeg, which has faced expected playoff contenders in 10 of its last 12 outings. The Jets previously met Dallas during that stretch but came up short on the road, extending their losing streak against the Stars to six games. 

Now, Winnipeg will be eager to turn the tide, leaning on the recent production of surging forwards Dawson Mercer and Viggo Björck, who have each recorded four points over their last three games. Thursday will also mark Josh Morrissey’s second game back after returning from injury on Tuesday. 

The standout defenseman will be looking to make an immediate impact as Winnipeg aims to keep its recent momentum rolling and extend its winning streak to five games.
