The Winnipeg Jets are alive and well. The St. Louis Blues are finished for the season.
Down 2-0 early on, and behind 3-1 with just over two minutes remaining in regulation, the host Jets tallied two goals to knot matters, and then scored late in the second overtime to oust St. Louis, 4-3, in Game Seven of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series on Sunday night. Winnipeg advances to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs against Dallas, which defeated Colorado in seven games.
Kyle Connor (Michigan) set up three goals for the Jets, as did Neal Pionk (Minnesota-Duluth), with both assisting on the winning goal just over 16 minutes into the second extra session. Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (UMass Lowell) overcame a rough start to finish with 26 saves and pick up his fourth win of the 2025 postseason, all at home. Colton Parayko (Alaska Fairbanks) assisted on the first goal by the Blues, who won all three games in St. Louis in their return to the NHL postseason for the first time since 2023.
