Heiskanen missed the last 32 regular-season games and the first 10 playoff games. The 33-year-old forward had scored multiple goals only one time in his previous 69 playoff games, for Minnesota in 2014. Nikolaj Ehlers scored for the Jets, who have lost all five of their road games this postseason. Hellebuyck has now lost nine consecutive playoff road games since winning Game 1 at Vegas in 2023, before the Golden Knights won four in a row. The Jets began the second period with a minute left on a power play, and Dallas technically killed the tripping penalty.
