Mikael Granlund scored three goals on just three shots Tuesday night, powering the Dallas Stars to a 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets and a 3-1 lead in their second-round playoff series.

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Cooper Beebe was so hyped for the Dallas Stars' NHL playoff game against the Winnipeg Jets that no shirts were necessary.

First it was Cowboys’ first-round draft selection Tyler Booker at Stars’ Game 3 vs. the Winnipeg Jets. Now it’s Wings’ No. 1 overall selection Paige Bueckers down on the glass for Game 4. No word yet on whether Cooper Flagg is set to show up for a game or if his invitation from the Stars is contingent on his official draft selection.

In this edition, former Buffalo Sabres coach Don Granato writes about the Western Conference Second Round. The Dallas Stars lead the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in the best-of-7 series entering Game 4 at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC).

BOTTOM LINE: The Dallas Stars host the Winnipeg Jets in the second round of the NHL Playoffs with a 2-1 lead in the series. The teams meet Sunday for the eighth time this season. The Stars won the last matchup 5-2. Dallas is 50-26-6 overall with a 21-12-3 record in Central Division games. The Stars have an 18-7-4 record in one-goal games.

For the first time in awhile, the Dallas Stars have an unstoppable scorer, and that has changed their offensive identity.
