After playing what head coach Jim Montgomery called their "worst game of the year" on Tuesday, the Dallas Stars get a quick chance to redeem themselves when they host the Winnipeg Jets in the back half of a home-and-home on Thursday night.

The Stars have dropped four straight games, including Tuesday night's 5-1 loss in Winnipeg. The Jets, behind a goal and two assists by Kyle Connor, led 4-1 after two periods and cruised to their second win in three meetings with Dallas this season.

"We never responded throughout the game," Montgomery said. "I thought the Jets were ready to go. I thought they were really good, and they were the better team in every facet of the game."
