Hintz tied it 2-2 with two minutes remaining in the third with Jake Oettinger pulled for the extra attacker. Mikko Rantanen fed a pass from behind the net to Hintz in the low slot, where he shot it past Skinner blocker side.

Vilardi tied it 1-1 at 10:50. Dylan Samberg released a point shot, and Oettinger couldn’t find the puck before Vilardi retrieved it off his right pad and into the back of the net.
Connor gave Winnipeg a 2-1 lead less than two minutes later at 12:38. Neal Pionk intercepted a pass from Nils Lundkvist in the Stars’ defensive zone and passed it to Connor in the circle, and he sent a one-timer into the top corner.
