WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) Mikko Rantanen scored the first goal and had two assists and the Dallas Stars won in coach Glen Gulutzan's return, overcoming Kyle Connor's hat trick to hold off the Winnipeg Jets 5-4 on Thursday night in the opener for both teams.
Gulutzan took over for the fired Pete DeBoer during the offseason.
Jason Robertson had a goal and an assist for Dallas. Nils Lundkvist, Tyler Seguin and Wyatt Johnston also scored, and Jake Oettinger made 21 saves.
Down 5-1 after Johnston's goal early in the third, the Jets rallied on short-handed goals by Morgan Barron at 9:53 and Connor with 8:51 left and Connor's third with 3:03 remaining.
Mark Scheifele assisted on all three of Connor's goals.
Gulutzan coached Dallas from 2011-13. He was on Edmonton's staff the past seven seasons. The Oilers lost to Florida in the Stanley Cup Final each of the past two seasons, both after eliminating the Stars in the Western Conference final.
Stars: At Colorado on Saturday night.
Jets: Host Los Angeles on Saturday.
