SUMMARY
St. Louis 2, Winnipeg 0 (1st period)
The Winnipeg jets badly started their decisive match against St. Louis’s blues on Sunday.
From the 70th second of the game of match no 7 at the Canadian Life Center, Jordan Kyrou skillfully slipped the slice behind Connor Hellebuyck.
It was the third goal of the present Series of the Blues No. 25, which completed the maneuver of defender Colton Parayko. Pavel Buchnevich also participated in this fast goal.
The Jets goalkeeper, logical candidate for a second consecutive Vézina trophy, continued his series at least erratic, seemingly badly on the launch of Mathieu Joseph, who dubbed the priority of visitors six minutes later.
Joseph took advantage of a turnaround caused by Kyle Connor to bring herself alone in counterattack, and surprise Hellebuyck with a shot of low wrists.

Pre-match notes
The jets seek to win the second match no 7 in their history, while they receive the blues in the ultimate duel of their NHL’s first round series.
The winning team will make an appointment with the Dallas stars in the association semi-final. The latter filled a delay in two goals in the third period on Saturday to defeat the Colorado avalanche in seven games.
It is the first time in its history that Winnipeg has welcomed a match No. 7. During his only other participation in a decisive match, in 2018, the Manitoba training had the upper hand on the Nashville Predators, at Bridgestone Arena. The jets are deprived of Mark Scheifele for this ultimate confrontation.
For their part, the Blues can become only the Fifth NHL team to win at least five games our consecutive 7 games.

Will the jets succeed in home scanning? In this series, the training playing in front of his supporters had the upper hand, with a perfect assessment of 6-0.
