Dallas Stars center Colin Blackwell and defenseman Cody Ceci (44) and Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (44) and left wing Kyle Connor (81) battle for the puck. Stars coach Pete DeBoer interpreted the ruling differently.

The Dallas Stars’ pursuit of a second Stanley Cup took another step forward on Sunday when they defeated the Winnipeg Jets 5-2. Dallas now leads the Jets two games to one in the second round of the playoffs. Sunday’s win was not without some drama though, with a third period score by the Stars’ Alexander Petrovic.

The Jets let a close game slip away thanks in part to a kicked puck that went in and held up as the game-winning goal.
