All depends on which version of Helle shows up for this series. Bad Helle? Stars in 5. Good Helle? Jets push it to 7 and win in OT again.

[Finger Cookin]

Get it done, Dallas.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Jets aren't pushovers but Dallas' offense scares me.

Stars in 6.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

I'd have to favor the Stars after watching these last two series, but thing can change quickly.

Whoever gets healthier faster wins.

[Toonage]

Not to immediately crap on tonight’s awesome win but if the Jets remain down their top 2 players and Dallas gets theirs back I don’t see this ending well. Stars in 6.

What really scary is Stars offense against Helle puck stopping.

[White Out 403]

The extra rest will be great. Dallas is a formidable foe. Helley looked great in the 3rd and OT, maybe he can get over himself now. All I can ask is, why not us?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Stars in 5. They’re getting injured stars back and the jets have two stars missing. Unless Helly returns to Hart/Vezina form I don’t see Winnipeg being able to hang with Dallas.

[midniteowl]

Depends on which Helley shows up, if it's game one to game 7 first 3 period, it'll be Dallas in 5. If the OT Helley shows up, it'll be Dallas in 7.

[Snuffleupagus]

Jets need Scheifele back or it's over in 5

[troutman]

Winning the first series is sometimes the hardest. Jets in six.

[topfiverecords]

Stars in 5. Too much speed for the Jets to handle.

[curves2000]

The physicality of the past series concerns me for the Jets, partially offset by home ice. I really hope these guys get the extra day off and use it smart.

Decisions like this regarding recovery are key to series wins.

[iamca]

This is a different series if Robertson and Heskinin are both back for the Stars.

Helly needs to have an above .900 save percentage for the Jets to stay in this series.

My gut says Stars in 6.

Damn, I apologize to the Avalanche and Blues, turned on the last five minutes of both third periods to enjoy and watch the ousting of the the Stars and jets, unfortunately afew lucky goals later.

[jg13]

Dallas in 6

[Itse]

I predict a lot of very close games, but not a close series.

Dallas in five or six. Hellebuyck can't hold the fort.

[Erick Estrada]

If Rantanen picks up where he left off in the first round, the Jets are going to be up against it trying to win this series. Hellebuyck will have to be much better than he was in the first round for the Jets to have a chance.

[Engine09]

I'm still annoyed at the Stars for folding against the Oilers last year, they do look much improved though, I can't see the Jets getting past them.

Stars in 5
