Kyle Connor's impressive performance, with a goal and two assists, led the Winnipeg Jets to a crucial 5-3 victory against the St. Louis Blues, taking a 3-2 lead in their playoff series. The Jets showcased their strength, despite losing star center Mark Scheifele early in the game due to a hit from Brayden Schenn. Notable contributions came from Vladislav Namestnikov, Nino Niederreiter, and Connor Hellebuyck, who secured the win with solid goaltending.

The Jets' offense was potent, outshooting the Blues and capitalizing on opportunities, particularly in the second period. The Blues struggled to maintain momentum after scoring early, and their home advantage will be put to the test in Game 6.
