    Dallas goalie Antti Niemi frustrates Winnipeg shooters with 28 saves
    The Associated Press Posted: Oct 25, 2016 11:39 PM ET Last 
    Antti Niemi made 28 saves, but more important than how many he made was when he made them.
    Niemi's clutch performance helped the Dallas Stars earn a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.
    "It wasn't that he was tested in bunches," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said, "but he had to make some huge saves for us. Breakaway saves, there was a couple game-changers."
    The most important might have been two saves by Niemi in the latter half of the first period while the game was still 0-0.
    He stopped a breakaway by Alexander Burmistrov and a shot by Mark Scheifele on a 2-on-1.
    Seconds later, the Stars had a 2-on-1. Curtis McKenzie passed back into the slot to Brett Ritchie, who sent a wrist shot past Michael Hutchinson at 14:37 and Dallas never trailed again.
    The win salvaged the last game of Dallas' 1-1-1 home stand. Winnipeg lost its second straight and fourth in five games.
    Patrick Eaves and Tyler Seguin also scored for the Stars while Hutchinson had 23 saves.
    Stars rookie center Devin Shore had two assists.
    Late goals
    The goals against Niemi came in the closing seconds of the second and third periods. Joel Armia beat him to the puck to score with 5 seconds left in the second, and Scheifele put in a rebound on the power play with 9 seconds to play in the third.
    Dallas spent most of the first 5 minutes of the second period killing two penalties.
    The teams skated 4-on-4 for 35 seconds before Eaves scored his 100th career goal from high in the slot at 5:02.
    "It's pretty cool," he said. "I've been fortunate to play with a lot of good players. More importantly, it helped towards a divisional win."
    Eaves had returned after missing a game with a lower-body injury. He added experience to an injury-riddled Dallas front line weakened even more because Jason Spezza sat out with a lower-body injury.
    Jets' Joel Armia impresses 
    Shore passed from behind the net to set up Eaves' goal. Another assist went to center Justin Dowling, in his NHL debut after playing 324 games in the minor leagues. He was recalled from Texas of the AHL to fill in for Spezza.
    "I thought we had a great night out of [Dowling's] line," Ruff said. "We got a good night out of the Shore line."
    Armia brought Winnipeg within 2-1 by taking the puck away from Niemi behind the net to score his first goal on a wraparound. Niemi had stopped two other good chances by Armia earlier in the second.
    "Joel was moving his feet with the puck and when he does that, boy, he creates some things," Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said.
    Seguin scored at 7:27 of the third period with a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle.
