Tonight is a do-or-die, crucial Game 5 for the Jets against the Stars, and Scott Arniel has some bold things to say about how the Jets will play well for their fans. The Jets are just 10 days removed from <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/the-hidden-x-factor-behind-jets-game-7-outcome-has-been-revealed' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a franchise-record Game 7 comeback win over the St. Louis Blues</a>, their first elimination threat of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. They've been coming back in close games all season long, but against the Dallas Stars, trailing 3-1, they can't wait until the final few minutes to come alive. The Stars also demonstrated how to stage a dramatic comeback in a Game 7 of a first-round series against Colorado. They are 1-0 in the category of coming back from oblivion and sending an opponent there. Prior to tonight's crucial Game 5 in Winnipeg, Jets head coach Scott Arniel addressed the media with confidence and made some bold statements that his team is capable of winning the series and extending the series to a Game 6. We've got to take care of business here if we want this extended series, Arniel said matter-of-factly. Now, our backs are against the wall and we've got to win our next game. That's all part of this time of the year. Now we have to step up and be at our best and learn from the lessons that we've had recently. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DarrinBauming/status/1922719378878939569'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> No longer a process of development, it is now time to execute. Although the Jets have managed only three goals in their previous two games, they've created enough chances to stay in games. <h3>The Jets were statistically the better team in Game 4 vs. the Stars but still lost</h3> <a href='https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2025/05/14/returning-to-the-reservoir-of-resolve' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Natural Stat Trick had Winnipeg at 3.35 expected goals for all situations on Tuesday</a>, well ahead of the 2.32 for Dallas, a very positive indicator that their system is taking hold. But the challenge before them is this: beating Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, who's been phenomenal, giving up just eight goals on 130 shots in four games, is going to be a very tall order. The Jets know what's at stake. They now simply have to go out and get it done.
