After getting blanked in Winnipeg on Friday night, the Stars needed a big response on home ice. The Jets had been shaky on the road last series and last playoffs, and the Stars had been far better when at American Airlines Center.

Third-period goals 49 seconds apart by Alexander Petrovic and Mikko Rantanen sparked the host Dallas Stars to a 5-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in Sunday's Game 3 of their Stanley Cup playoff series.

The Dallas Stars bounced back from being shut out in Game 2 by scoring three in the third period, and leaving the ice with a 5-2 win and a 2-1 series lead against the Winnipeg Jets.
