Few players have been as impactful as Dallas’ Mikko Rantanen in the 2025 NHL playoffs. The forward recorded back-to-back hat tricks in the last two games.
Rantanen, a forward, started the season with the Avalanche before being traded to the Hurricanes and then the Stars. He eliminated his former team in the first round with a Game 7 hat trick.
Three goals in Game 1 against the Jets was all the the Stars needed to win. Rantanen has done it all, and the Stars are shining at the right time.
Winnipeg remains the home team for Game 2 as it looks to even the series at 1-1 on Friday night. Slowing down Rantanen should be the focus, as he’s on a heater unlike anyone else in the league.
Here’s what you need to know about Friday’s matchup between Jets and Stars, including broadcast information and start time.
