LOUIS — For a team that won 99 games over two seasons, and may not see again their Stanley Cup window so wide open, theThe Jets were not competitive enough in a 3-2 loss to the, who clinched the first-round series here in six games but probably won it Thursday in Winnipeg when the Jets blew a two-goal, third-period lead and lost a pivotal Game 5, 3-2.
Blues winger Jaden Schwartz, goal-less through four games, completed his hat trick Saturday at 3:55 of the third period, skating around beached defenceman Dustin Byfuglien and beating Hellebuyck stick side to make it 3-0 and guarantee the Jets’ elimination. But even he couldn’t have imagined how steeply the ice would continue to tilt towards the Jets’ goal.
Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice burned his timeout on the play, unsuccessfully challenging goalie interference on Schwartz. The Blues’ winger did contact Hellebuyck as he charged to the net in front of Schenn — Byfuglien wasn’t any better handling Schwartz than he was handling the puck — but not enough for the NHL war room in Toronto to overturn the goal.
