The St. Louis Blues are showing remarkable resilience in their playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets, having leveled the matchup at 2-2 after a slow start. The key to their resurgence has been an increased offensive pressure, a shift in line combinations by coach Montgomery, and the impressive performances of players like Jordan Binnington and Jake Neighbors. Binnington's solid goaltending has been crucial, as he's demonstrated his ability to handle the pressure of the playoffs, reminiscent of his Stanley Cup-winning form. Meanwhile, Neighbors emerged as a surprise star in Game 4, contributing significantly with a goal and two assists, which speaks volumes about the team’s depth and adaptability.
Brayden Schenn's physical play has also quietly bolstered the team, providing leadership and grit that often goes unnoticed compared to flashier plays. The atmosphere in Enterprise Center has returned to its playoff glory, energizing the players and contributing to their success. As the series shifts back to Winnipeg for the final three games, the Blues will need to maintain momentum and capitalize on their confidence to secure a spot in the next round.
