In a dramatic Game 6 showdown on Saturday night, the Dallas Stars edged the Winnipeg Jets 2–1 in overtime, clinching their second-round series and advancing to the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers.

The game was marked by emotional intensity, particularly for Winnipeg's Mark Scheifele, who played just a day after the sudden passing of his father. Scheifele honored his father's memory by scoring the opening goal midway through the second period, a moment that resonated deeply with fans and teammates alike. New York Post
