5 games to for the Jets, and 6 to go for the Stars:
These rows all result in Winnipeg and Dallas in a tie for points, and assume Dallas wins the RW tiebreaker (which they probably would, unless 2 or more of their wins are in OT).
Jets last 5: STL, DAL, CHI, EDM, ANA
Stars last 6: MIN, VAN, WPG, UTA, DET, NSH
