Kyle Connor's stellar performance, including a goal and two assists, helped the Winnipeg Jets secure a crucial 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues, propelling them to a 3-2 lead in their playoff series. The Jets, despite the absence of star center Mark Scheifele due to injury, saw contributions from Vladislav Namestnikov and Nino Niederreiter, both netting goals and adding assists. Connor Hellebuyck's 16 saves proved pivotal as the Jets outshot the Blues significantly, showcasing their offensive resurgence after prior defeats in St. Louis.

The Blues, however, demonstrated resilience with Nathan Walker scoring twice, indicating their continued threat in Game 6. With the playoffs heating up, the Jets aim to capitalize on their momentum, while the Blues will rely on home-court advantage, having won their last 14 games at home.
