After getting blanked in Winnipeg on Friday night, the Stars needed a big response on home ice. The Jets had been shaky on the road last series and last playoffs, and the Stars had been far better when at American Airlines Center.

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.

Third-period goals 49 seconds apart by Alexander Petrovic and Mikko Rantanen sparked the host Dallas Stars to a 5-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in Sunday's Game 3 of their Stanley Cup playoff series.
