St. Louis then pushed the Jets to the brink of elimination with a win in Game 5 before the Jets forced a Game 7 with a victory in Game 6. On Sunday, the Blues carried a two-goal lead into the fourth quarter.

The St. Louis Blues’ first-round playoff loss to the Winnipeg Jets will be one they dwell on for a long time. They made the Jets uncomfortable all series long, notably Connor Hellebuyck, and had them on the ropes.

The game at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is the only one on the schedule Sunday night, May 4. It's a big one, with the winner advancing to the second round and the loser heading home for the summer.
