Once again there was another playoff classic of the Stanley Cup on Sunday night, since Winnipeg’s jets go to the next round after defeating St. Louis Blues in game 7 in a miraculous way.
This game needed dual extra time to determine the jets as winners 4–3, but it was very close to the blues that came out of Canada Life Center with the victory of the road.
The Jets emptied their network and observed how the latter marked the clock in the offensive zone, only with the hope of a shot in the network to give them a chance in the 3-3 draw and the game in extra time.

Nikolaj Ehlers had that opportunity when the album reached him on the blue line, and sent a rocket towards the network, but he olfatted the only timer. However, the album returned to its way, and instead of trying another slap shot, Neal Pionk took it in the right wing.
Pionk quickly sent the album to the network, and Perfetti was just there for the tip that went through the netminder of blues Jordan Binnington when the clock reached 1.6 seconds. He fed the bell and the crowd became ballistic, knowing that the jets still had the opportunity to move forward in the playoffs.
It was a time when professional athletes dreamed, but it would not have meant much if they could not seal the treatment.

Almost two complete periods of extra time passed, with both teams seeing opportunities to obtain the golden goal.
Who better than the Jet Captain, Adam Lowry, who comes to the hero with 3:50 remaining in extra time?
Pionk sent another shot to the network, this time from the blue line and Lowry’s stick was the first thing he touched, and the redirection could not have been better. Binnington did not see the album hit the ice and pass with him, and the jets immediately celebrated.

The incredible final occurred one night after Mikko Rantanen sent the stars of Dallas to the next round about his former Avalanche team in Colorado with a Hat Hat Hat Trick, including the Gol of the Victoria Victory Empty Network.
Well, that is exactly who the jets will meet in the second round, since they are ready to face the stars for another series of the best of seven to see who will play in the final of the West Conference.
Looking more at the box score, Perfetti had a power goal for Winnipeg in the second period, which led the jets to the board after falling 2-0 in the first. Jordan Kyrou and Mathieu Joseph were the scorers of St. Louis there.
Radek Faksa scored his first of the playoffs with only 35 seconds in the second period, which certainly put a frustrator to the local crowd in third place.

However, Vladislav Namestnikov scored with just under two minutes to play in the third period, giving Winnipeg Hope before Perfetti’s heroics saved the season.
Despite losing efforts, Binnington made 43 rescues in the almost five complete periods of work. His counterpart, Connor Hellebuyck had 26 rescues.
