The Blues have let the Jets back in the series and it was not something that the Blues expected to have happen as they were playing at home and dropped the games on their home ice. However, the last game was one that did not end until overtime and it was a battle to the end when the Jets were able to put the puck into the back of the net 6 minutes into the overtime period. What else did not help the Blues out was the bruising way the game went as the Jets seem to be a much more physical team than the Jets have been on the season so far. Connor Hellebuyck played a great game as he turned away 96.9% of the shots that have been sent his way. He saved 5 short handed shots that were sent towards him on the year. The regular strength shots for the saves that Hellebuyck faced was 26 on the day.

Jordan Binnington was the Blues goalie in the game and he did great in the game with 2 short hand saves. He did face a total of 39 shots on the day as he was able to turn away 94.9% of the shots that he did face in the game. The downside is he did let the winning goal slip by him in the overtime period, but he put forth a great effort in the game.

The Blues have lost the early momentum they had in the series and may have some problems regaining it. Look for the Jets to be able to come into this game here and start to control the games like they should have been doing the entire series to bring home the win here and help give them momentum heading into the 6th game of the series. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Jets win 2-1.
