Rantanen continued his playoff brilliance with a second-period hat-trick, powering the Stars past the Jets 3-2. How must Winnipeg readjust?

Game 1 goes to the Stars. Dallas ended its losing streak in series openers on Wednesday with a high-stress 3-2 victory in Game 1 against the Winnipeg Jets.

"Mikko Rantanen became the first player in nearly 40 years with a hat trick in consecutive playoff games and third in NHL history, following Jari Kurri (Game 5-6 of 1985 CF) and Doug Bentley (Game 4-5 of 1944 SF)," the NHL noted.
