Winnipeg Jets at Dallas Stars Game 6
Stars lead series 3-2
Series odds: Stars -425, Jets +320
On the brink of elimination, the Jets forced a Game 6.
After a scoreless first period, Mark Scheifele was credited with the opening goal (that deflected off of Thomas Harley in front). Nikolaj Ehlers added to that early in the third period with a five-on-three power play goal. A Vladislav Namesntikov power-play goal about 10 minutes later padded Winnipeg’s lead, then an empty-netter from Ehlers sealed it.
There’s a lot to like from Winnipeg’s side of the matchup. Ehlers is bringing it when it matters most, after years of question marks around his playoff pedigree. The defense tightened up to limit the Stars, which helped Connor Hellebuyck play his best — he saved 2.5 goals above expected in his second shutout of the series.
Having home ice helped the Jets manage their top-six matchups better. The big question is whether they can win on the road to force a decisive Game 7. The Jets have gone 0-5 on the road so far this postseason, and the Stars rebounded in a big way after getting shutout in Game 2.

Edmundo indica clube que “converte” jogadores no Brasileirão: “Não é cheio de craques”
Edmundo, em discurso no canal 'Mundo Ed' (Reprodução) Edmundo vê o Fortaleza como um exemplo de gestão no futebol brasileiro. Levando em conta que o Leão do Pici não tem grandes estrelas no elenco, o modo que os jogadores são “convertidos” no trabalho de Vojvoda é um cenário que enche os olhos do ex-atacante. Neste contexto, a sequência do trabalho fez o clube assumir status de potência emergente na América do Sul. “Na minha opinião, não é um time cheio de craques. Alguns jogadores não brilham com algumas camisas, mas viram jogadores super importantes com a camisa do Fortaleza. O diferencial do Fortaleza é o Vojvoda, que deve ser o técnico, depois do Abel, o técnico que está há mais tempo em um time de Série A.”, disse Edmundo, em live no canal Mundo Ed.

Auston Matthews delivers: Maple Leafs captain finds the net, redemption and relief
SUNRISE, Fla. — Auston Matthews scored eight minutes into his first NHL game. The ensuing nine years saw the Toronto Maple Leafs captain put more pucks in the net than any other player in the league, which is why he arrived at Amerant Bank Arena surrounded by a cacophony of what his teammates typically refer to as “noise.”AdvertisementHeading into Game 6, Matthews had played 10 games in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs without scoring at all. Of the 110 players in league history with at least 400 goals on their resumes, he was the only one stuck on zero beyond Round 1.“Big goal’s coming,” his coach, Craig Berube, predicted as questions about Matthews kept coming.Then with his team’s season on the line, and with the Florida Panthers giving the Maple Leafs all they could handle on Friday […]
Craque Neto elege único técnico melhor do que Abel Ferreira, do Palmeiras
Abel Ferreira durante jogo da Libertadores (Cesar Greco - Ag. Palmeiras) O Craque Neto foi incisivo ao bancar que apenas Luiz Felipe Scolari está acima de Abel Ferreira em relação aos técnicos que já trabalharam no futebol brasileiro. A opinião foi manifestada no “Os Donos da Bola” desta sexta-feira (16), na Band. Na concepção do apresentador, Felipão acabou ficando ‘esquecido’ com o tempo, foi ‘manchado’ pelo 7 a 1, mas é um treinador histórico em solo nacional, tendo inclusive construído trajetória vitoriosa no próprio Palmeiras, onde levantou o primeiro título de Libertadores do clube. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O único cara que é melhor do que o Abel Ferreira, pra mim, é o Felipão. Mas o Felipão é um treinador que a gente não fala muito dele pela idade, por ser rabugento. O Abel Ferreira é monstruoso”, opinou o Craque Neto. Recorde […]
