The message is simple for the Winnipeg Jets. If they hope to stay alive in their Western Conference second-round series against the Dallas Stars, they need to score more goals.

WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets are in do-or-die territory, as they face elimination in Game 5 of their best-of-7 Western Conference Second Round series against the Dallas Stars at Canada Life Centre on Thursday (9:30 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TNT, truTV, MAX).

Call it Reasons To Believe. OK, so the Jets goalie is also one of the reasons to doubt. One look at his recent playoff record, particularly on the road, makes you want to take him straight to the river and wash away his sin. But Game 5 is at home, where the soon-to-be, three-time Vezina winner is 5-1 this spring.

The Dallas Stars have a 3-1 series lead and have controlled the Round 2 matchup for the most part. Aside from the 4-0 shutout win in Game 2 from the Winnipeg Jets, it’s been all Stars, and they’ve notably taken over on their home ice with back-to-back wins by multiple goals.

Losing in the playoffs is devastating. Losing while not delivering your best makes it even worse. But despite being down 3-1, captain Adam Lowry and the Winnipeg Jets are confident their season isn’t over just yet.
