NHL: Dallas Stars at Winnipeg Jets Bruce Fedyck-USA TODAY Sports

Although they found a way to beat the Jets Tuesday night, the Stars couldn’t find a way to win again last night. Winnipeg opened the scoring 15 seconds into the first and didn’t let up, beating Dallas 4-1.

You probably don’t want to relive last night, but just in case...

Lindy Ruff pointed to the fact that the Stars are “missing two power play units” when you consider the injuries. Meanwhile, Jamie Benn shouldered the blame.

[Tyler] Myers gave Winnipeg a 1-0 lead 15 seconds into the first period on a point shot that appeared to go off Niemi's blocker and into the net.

"I think it starts with the first shift of the game with the puck and I don't do anything with it and it goes in the back of the net," Stars captain Jamie Benn said. "It starts with myself. I got to be better."

The Jets had 22 shots in the first period, one shy of their franchise record.
