Mark Scheifele and Dawson Mercer score 2 goals each as Jets roar past Stars 8-3
DALLAS (AP) --- Mark Scheifele had two goals and an assist, and Dawson Mercer
had his second consecutive two-goal game as the Winnipeg Jets rode a five-goal
second period and scored the final six goals to rally past the Dallas Stars 8-3
on Thursday night.
Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi had a goal and two assists each, Dylan Samberg
had a goal and an assist and Cole Koepke also scored as the Jets won their
fifth consecutive game. Stuart Skinner made 30 saves.
Arttu Hyry, Roope Hintz and David Perron scored for the Stars. Jake Oettinger,
who went in with the NHL's fourth-best goals-against average at 1.99, allowed a
season-high six goals on 27 shots and was pulled a minute into the third
period. Casey DeSmith gave up two goals, within 15 seconds, on two shots in the
highest-scoring game by a Dallas opponent this season.
Perron gave Dallas a 3-2 lead midway through the second period with his first
goal since the 38-year-old was signed as a free agent on Oct. 15. A three-goal
Jets surge closed the period, beginning with a goal at 13:55 by Mercer,
acquired on Oct. 25 from New Jersey in the Connor Hellebuyck trade, and capped
by Mercer's score with 7.3 seconds left.
Scheifele has four goals and four assists in the last four games.
Each team had a goal disallowed --- Winnipeg's for offside and Dallas' for a
kicking motion. The ruling against the Stars negated an assist that would have
been the 1,000th career point for captain Jamie Benn.
Winnipeg's Cole Perfetti and Dallas' Thomas Harley and Nils Lundkvist had two
assists each.
The Stars played for the first time since Saturday and began a run of three
games in four days, all at home.
Up next Jets: Visit Chicago on Saturday. Stars: Host Buffalo on Saturday night. ___ See AP's full NHL coverage here |
