- Mikael Granlund recorded his inaugural playoff hat trick as the Dallas Stars secured a 3-1 victory over the top-seeded Winnipeg Jets on May 13, 2025, taking a 3-1 lead in their Western Conference second-round series.
- The Stars' strong power play and goaltender Jake Oettinger's 31 saves contributed to the win, while the Jets struggled on the road, having lost all five away games this postseason.
- Mikko Rantanen extended his NHL-leading playoff points total to 19 by assisting Granlund's go-ahead second-period goal, while Miro Heiskanen returned from a 105-day knee injury absence to assist on Granlund's third power-play goal.

- With Game 5 scheduled in Winnipeg, the Stars hold their first two-game playoff series lead this postseason and can advance to the Western Conference final for the third consecutive year with a win.
