Longest road trip of season for Winnipeg Jets ends with loss to Dallas Stars

Mason Marchment scored the winning goal on a spinning backhander with 7:37 to play with an assist from Jake Oettinger, who made 26 saves, as the Dallas Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 on Sunday.

Marchment took a slow-rolling pass made by Thomas Harley from behind Dallas’ goal line to the opposite blue line, skated on net while closely defended by Josh Morrissey, spun to his left and shot with his back to goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to break a 1-1 tie.

Oettinger earned his fifth career assist starting the play and remained perfect at American Airlines Center this season at 9-0-0.

Hellebuyck, who leads the NHL with 15 wins, stopped 28 shots.

Wyatt Johnston and Roope Hintz also scored for the Stars, the latter into an empty net with 7.5 seconds left.

Adam Lowry scored for the Jets, who went 2-4-0 on a season-long road trip that took 10 days and covered 5,000 miles. Three of Lowry’s six goals this season have come in the last five games.

Marchment has eight goals and eight assists in his last 10 games.

Johnston has a six-game point streak (two goals, five assists).
