Stars' disputed goal beats Jets, Dallas leads series

Dallas Stars took a 2-1 series lead against the Winnipeg Jets after a controversial goal was awarded following an extended video review. The goal, initially appearing to be kicked in by Alexander Petrovic, proved decisive in the Stars' 5-2 victory. The goal was awarded after officials determined the puck deflected off Petrovic's skate and then off Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck into the net. Winnipeg's coach disputed the call, citing a rule violation, while the Stars celebrated the go-ahead score. The disputed goal, which ended a nine-year playoff goal drought for Petrovic, came after a shot ricocheted off Hellebuyck. The Jets, despite the controversial call, acknowledged needing to play better.
