The Calgary Flames are poised for an active offseason following a disappointing end to their season, missing the playoffs due to an underwhelming offensive performance. Armed with multiple first-round draft picks, the Flames are strategically positioned to make significant roster enhancements. One player linked to a potential trade is Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues. Kyrou, who recorded 36 goals and 34 assists last season, could provide the offensive spark the Flames desperately need.

Kyrou’s situation with the Blues is complex, as the team seeks to rebuild its draft capital amid dwindling prospects. A trade involving Kyrou could benefit both parties: the Blues would acquire valuable picks, while the Flames would gain a top-tier forward. With Kyrou entering the third year of an eight-year deal, any trade would also alleviate some financial pressure for St. Louis.

Kyle Connor's late-game heroics propelled the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Blues in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. With a decisive one-timer with just 1:36 left in the third, Connor not only broke the 3-3 tie but also added two assists, demonstrating his playmaking prowess. Adam Lowry sealed the victory with an empty-net goal, pushing Winnipeg’s playoff momentum forward.

Mark Scheifele also shone, scoring a goal and assisting twice, making him the franchise's all-time playoff points leader with 41. The Jets, fresh off winning the Presidents' Trophy, exhibited their offensive depth as Jaret Anderson-Dolan added another goal. The Blues, who fought back to hold a brief lead thanks to Jordan Kyrou's power-play goal, will need to regroup for Game 2 as the Jets aim to extend their series lead in front of a raucous home crowd.

Kyle Connor's decisive one-timer late in the third period propelled the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Blues in Game 1 of the NHL playoffs. With two assists in addition to his goal, Connor played a pivotal role, while Adam Lowry sealed the victory with an empty-netter. Mark Scheifele also shone, contributing a goal and two assists, extending his playoff points record for the franchise.

Despite Jordan Kyrou giving the Blues a temporary lead, Alex Iafallo's equalizer set the stage for Connor's game-winner. The Jets showcased their dominance, having previously finished the regular season with the best record and power play. Connor Hellebuyck made 14 saves, and the Jets' physicality was evident as they absorbed 32 hits from St. Louis.

In a thrilling overtime finish, Cam Fowler netted the game-winning goal with just 1:34 left in the extra period, leading the St. Louis Blues to a narrow 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. This marks the Blues' 10th consecutive win, further securing their position in the Western Conference playoff race. Jordan Kyrou also contributed, scoring his 32nd goal of the season in the final seconds of regulation to tie the game. Goaltender Jordan Binnington was instrumental, making 20 saves, while Cam Talbot stood tall for Detroit with 35 saves.

Detroit's J.T. Compher opened the scoring early in the third period, but the Blues showcased resilience, with Fowler's goal coming from an assist by Robert Thomas, who has been on a hot streak with 11 assists in his last five games. This victory ties the Blues with Minnesota for the first wild-card spot, although Minnesota holds the tiebreaker due to more wins in regulation and overtime. The Blues aim to keep their momentum as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Penguins next.
