The Jets are ‘fired up’ and ready to return to home ice for Game 5 Globe_Sports

Members of the Winnipeg Jets celebrate after defeating the St. Louis Blues in Game 4, at the Enterprise Center, in St. Louis, Mo., on April 16, 2019.Kyle Connor tried to remain composed and circumspect about his game-winning overtime goal, which gave his Winnipeg Jets an immense lift in their opening-round tussle with the St. Louis Blues.

Except, perhaps, heading home on even footing after two successive wins on enemy ice with Game 5 on Thursday in Winnipeg where the club’s famous “Whiteout” street party will be in full swing. In a playoff in which neither team has yet to achieve success on home ice, Jets winger Adam Lowry said he is optimistic with the series resuming in Winnipeg.“We played pretty well the first two games. We're excited to go back. The series is tied. We know the MTS Centre is going to be rocking.”As for the Blues, they have played well in the series and feel a bit snakebit having coughed up control in the fashion they have.

“That’s why the Stanley Cup playoffs are so amazing, any given night a team finds its mojo and gets going. Over a couple months span, anybody can win. I think it maybe gives you optimism that anything’s possible.” Centre Mark Scheifele, who led the Jets with 38 goals in the regular season, had a commanding performance in Tuesday’s win. His presence was heavy every time he took the ice.With Winnipeg trailing 1-0 early in the third period, Scheifele rumbled into the offensive zone toward the net and expertly deflected a feed from Connor that soared in over Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington for the tying marker.
