NHL Match Previews 13/05/25 – Jets in Trouble, Stars Eye Series Lead
As the Stanley Cup Playoffs enter a defining stage, the spotlight falls firmly on Game 4 between the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars. With the Stars leading the series 2-1, the pressure is mounting for Winnipeg, whose once commanding regular season now hangs in the balance. Tuesday night’s showdown at the American Airlines Center promises drama, physicality, and high-stakes hockey as both teams battle for postseason supremacy.
The Jets, who ended the regular season at the top of the standings, find themselves in a precarious position, haunted by a dire road playoff record. Having now lost eight straight playoff games away from home dating back to April 2023, Winnipeg must summon resilience and leadership if they are to even the series and reclaim momentum.
Meanwhile, Dallas are brimming with confidence. Fresh off a dominant 5-2 victory in Game 3, they are two wins away from reaching their third straight Western Conference Final. The Stars, bolstered by mid-season acquisition Mikko Rantanen, have evolved from a grind-it-out squad into a dynamic, high-scoring force. Rantanen’s blistering playoff form has elevated the team, making him arguably the most impactful player in the series so far.
For fans and bettors alike, this matchup encapsulates what postseason hockey is all about—momentum swings, rising stars, and relentless pressure.
