The Winnipeg Jets are starting to look like their old self now that they've evened a first-round series against the Blues at 2-2. (imacSportsnet )
and a 2-2 tie in their first-round series that seemed improbable after the Jets lost the first two games in Winnipeg.
He made 37 saves but after the last of them, Scheifele collected his own rebound to Binnington’s right, briefly froze the netminder and then slid the puck to Connor for his third goal in three games. Connor scored only three times in the Jets’ 17-game playoff run a year ago when Winnipeg was one of the Cup favourites.Although the Jets finished ahead of the Blues on a tie-breaker, St. Louis was the best team in the NHL in the second half of the season. The Jets finished the season 2-4-1.
No one will know until Game 5 on Thursday if the Jets are really back, or whether the last two games were merely another fleeting summit in a season of peaks and valleys. But it has been a while since Winnipeg looked this good. Scheifele reached bravely to redirect the return pass into the top corner as he crashed into Binnington. The Jets’ centre, who had seven shots on goal and 11 attempts, ended up on the ice with Binnington’s stick.
