WINNIPEG – Facing a 3-1 deficit in their best-of-seven series against the Dallas Stars, the Winnipeg Jets are confronted with a formidable challenge.

Since the National Hockey League`s founding, only 32 teams have managed to overcome a 3-1 series disadvantage and win. To achieve such a rare comeback, the Jets would notably need to secure a victory in a road playoff game, something they haven`t accomplished since the 2023 postseason.

That said, the current season has been anything but straightforward or predictable, even for the reigning Presidents` Trophy winners (Dallas Stars).

Indeed, the Jets` presence in the playoffs this year was itself contingent on a memorable rally, often referred to as the “Manitoba Miracle,” which transpired during a Game 7 matchup against the St. Louis Blues.
