Winnipeg Jets centre Andrew Copp skates with the puck as St. Louis Blues defenceman Robert Bortuzzo defends during the second period in game three of the first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs in St. Louis, Mo.The Winnipeg Jets knew they were in deep, trailing the St. Louis Blues 2-0 in the best-of-seven opening-round playoff with Game 3 to be played in hostile territory.
Kevin Hayes, Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor , Brandon Tanev and Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Jets, who have at the very least ensured that the series will return to Winnipeg for one more contest.The Jets erupted for three goals in four minutes in the second period, which turned a 1-0 St. Louis lead into a 3-1 Winnipeg advantage heading into the third.
Byfuglien then made it a no-doubter when his shot from behind the Blues end line deflected into the net off Binnington’s mask to make it an insurmountable three-goal Winnipeg lead.Although the Enterprise Center was rocking for Sunday’s game, there was little of the crazed atmosphere outside the arena, which has become a staple for thousands of white-clad fans at the Jets’ home playoff games.
Upstairs within the spacious Dan Kelly Memorial Press Box, large framed pictures of star Blues’ players from days’ past – including Bernie Federko, Brett Hull, Brian Sutter, Bob and Barclay Plager and Al MacInnis – hung from a wall. Obviously, the Jets were the more desperate of the two teams and it showed in their play in the opening frame where they outplayed St. Louis by a wide margin but had nothing to show for it.
But a late power play proved beneficial for the Blues, with Perron sniping one past Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck from the slot for a 1-0 St. Louis lead at 19:12.

The NHLJets can't afford to let that happen again if they want to win this series. (SportsnetSpec) Spec Shut up spec. Stick to the Oilers. Spec If you are assigned to cover a series, at least check your facts.....Adam Lowry is not a third line winger, he is a center, all season, third line.
