In this edition, former Buffalo Sabres coach Don Granato writes about the Western Conference Second Round. The Dallas Stars lead the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in the best-of-7 series entering Game 4 at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC).

The Jets will be looking at this game as an absolute must-win as they should with a 3-1 series deficit virtually sealing their fate. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger has been sensational but has shown cracks with .908 save percentage in five home playoff starts.

For the first time in awhile, the Dallas Stars have an unstoppable scorer, and that has changed their offensive identity.

A pivotal moment in Game 3 of the second-round series between the Winnipeg Jets and the Dallas Stars left Jets head coach Scott Arniel baffled and frustrated. The Stars took a 3-2 lead early in the third period off a controversial goal by Alex Petrovic, one that Arniel insisted should have been overturned on review.

Mikko Rantanen had a goal and two assists, including on the tiebreaking goal off Alexander Petrovic's skate as the Dallas Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Sunday to take 2-1 lead in the second-round Western Conference series.
