Another playoff hat trick for a Finnish forward the Dallas Stars acquired in a trade during the regular season. This time, it was a first for Mikael Granlund.

Mikael Granlund had his first career playoff hat trick, Jake Oettinger stopped 31 shots and the Dallas Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 on Tuesday night. The Stars now have a 3-1 series lead over the top-seeded Jets in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The Dallas Stars took a commanding 3-1 series lead against the Central Division champion Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, thanks in part to forward Mikael Granlund’s dominating performance. The 33-year-old forward scored his first-ever postseason hat trick as he led the Stars to a 3-1 win over the Jets at the American Airlines Center as the series shifts back to the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg for Game 5 on Thursday.
