Game 6 of the Second Round in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars is set for Saturday, May 17, at 5:00 PM ET, taking place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. With a 3-2 lead in the series, the Stars are looking to close things out at home, while the Jets aim to push the matchup to a decisive Game 7.
Jets vs. Stars Game 6 Overview
The Jets, who topped the NHL regular season standings with an impressive 56-22-4 record, have proven their resilience in the playoffs. Trailing 3-1 in the series, Winnipeg came roaring back with a dominant 4-0 win in Game 5, showcasing a suffocating defense and clutch goaltending.
This isn’t the first time Winnipeg has answered the call under pressure. In the opening round, they staged an incredible comeback against the St. Louis Blues, forcing overtime in the final game to advance. Now, they look to continue that momentum and avoid elimination once again.
On the other side, the Dallas Stars are riding the strong postseason performance of Mikko Rantanen, who has tallied 19 points (9 goals, 10 assists) so far. His offensive firepower has been key to Dallas’ success. Meanwhile, goaltender Jake Oettinger continues to be a steady presence in net, providing consistent performances throughout the series.
Betting Outlook
– Moneyline: Dallas Stars -150; Winnipeg Jets +130
– Over/Under: 5.5 goals
– Puck Line: Stars -1.5 (+170); Jets +1.5 (-200)
According to the latest betting lines, the Stars are slight favorites to clinch the series at home. The over/under of 5.5 goals implies expectations of a moderately high-scoring affair, reflective of both teams’ ability to find the net.
Game 6 Prediction
Winnipeg’s ability to deliver in high-stakes situations should not be underestimated. The Jets are coming off a shutout anchored by goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and fueled by the offensive play of Kyle Connor. That performance gives Winnipeg a confidence boost heading into Game 6.
Yet, the Stars have the home-ice advantage and the benefit of key players firing on all cylinders. With Rantanen leading the scoring charge and Oettinger holding strong in goal, Dallas is well-positioned to wrap up the series.
Given the competitiveness of the series and what’s on the line, this game is likely to be close from start to finish. The Jets will be playing with urgency, while the Stars will be equally motivated to avoid a Game 7 on the road.
