Miro Heiskanen scored two of Dallas' six first-period goals, and the Stars beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-1 on Monday night. Mason Marchment had a goal and four assists for Dallas, which had dropped three of four. Matt Duchene had a goal and two assists.

The Winnipeg Jets rebounded from their only loss of the season with another lengthy winning streak that hit five games when they narrowly topped the Colorado Avalanche 1-0 on Thursday. They look to keep their momentum rolling and become the first team in NHL history to win 14 of their first 15 games when taking on the Dallas Stars Saturday afternoon.

The six goals scored by Dallas in the first period were the most ever allowed by the Penguins in an opening period on home ice.
