St. Louis Blues vs. Winnipeg Jets preview
The Winnipeg Jets aim to take a commanding 3-0 series lead as they head to Enterprise Center for Game 3 against a desperate St. Louis Blues squad.
The Jets' defensive prowess has been the story so far, with Connor Hellebuyck stopping 35 of 39 shots while limiting the Blues to just three goals across two games.
Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor have powered Winnipeg's offense with a combined nine points, while St. Louis struggles to generate consistent scoring chances despite solid performances from their defensive corps.
Blues netminder Jordan Binnington needs a bounce-back performance after surrendering six goals on 47 shots in the opening games.
The home ice advantage could provide a spark for St. Louis, but they'll need more production from their top scorers Pavel Buchnevich, Jordan Kyrou, and Robert Thomas to avoid falling into a nearly insurmountable series deficit.
With both teams tightening up defensively in Game 2 that saw just three total goals, expect another tense, low-scoring affair as the series intensity ratchets up.
