Blues, Jets Set for Decisive Game 7 in Winnipeg

The St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets will meet in a decisive Game 7 in Winnipeg after each home team won the first six games of their tightly contested NHL playoff series. The Blues carry momentum from a 5-2 victory in Game 6, which was highlighted by a rapid scoring burst in the second period. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, the backbone of the regular-season's top team and Presidents’ Trophy winner, will look to rebound at home, where betting odds favor Winnipeg. St. Louis relies on goaltender Jordan Binnington, who has a perfect record in previous Game 7s, and key scorer Cam Fowler, who leads the series with 10 points. Winnipeg’s Kyle Connor leads his team with nine points and will be pivotal in the deciding game. The winner will advance to face the Dallas Stars in the second round.
