The Dallas Stars defeated the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in Game 6 to advance to the Western Conference finals for the third straight season. Thomas Harley scored on a power play 1:33 into overtime to give the Stars the win.
Mark Scheifele scored the opener of the game for the Jets just hours after learning of the unexpected death of his father. Scheifele went on to have a tripping penalty at the end of regulation that led the game-winning power play.
Jake Oettinger made 22 saves to tally his sixth playoff series win over the past three seasons.
The Jets join a long line of Presidents\' Trophy winners to bow out early. The award, which goes to the NHL\'s top regular-season team, was won by the New York Rangers last season before they lost in the Eastern Conference finals. Two years ago, the No. 1 seed Boston Bruins lost in the first round to the Florida Panthers.
\"We lost to a great team,\" Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. \"We lost to a team that was in our rearview mirror all year long.\"
