DALLAS, Texas — The Dallas Stars built an early two-goal lead Thursday night in Dallas, Texas, then watched Winnipeg pour in six straight goals on the way to an 8-3 rout at American Airlines Center.

Arttu Hyry put Dallas in front at 4:19 of the first period, and Roope Hintz made it 2-0 late in the frame when he slipped a backhand through the pads of Stuart Skinner on a breakaway. David Perron added a goal midway through the second to restore a 3-2 edge, his first score since the veteran joined the club as a free agent on Oct. 15.

From there, the night fell apart. The Jets scored five times in the second period, with the last coming from Dawson Mercer with 7.3 seconds left. Mark Scheifele scored twice and set up another, Mercer scored twice for a second game in a row, and Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi each finished with three points.

Goalie Jake Oettinger came in ranked among the top four in the league in goals-against average. He was pulled a minute into the third after Winnipeg beat him six times on 27 shots, his worst night this season. Casey DeSmith allowed two more in relief. Dallas had not given up that many in a game since a trip to Manitoba, where Winnipeg won 8-2 on Nov. 8, 2016.

Each side had a goal wiped out. The Dallas goal was taken off for a kicking motion, and that call also cost captain Jamie Benn an assist that would have been point No. 1,000 of his career. Coach Glen Gulutzan said his team beat itself with mistakes against a club that is playing at a high level.

The loss ended a four-game point streak and dropped the Stars to 10-6-2. Winnipeg, now 9-8-3, has won five straight. Dallas was playing for the first time since Saturday and is in the middle of three games in four days at home.
