Apr 30, 2025; Winnipeg, Manitoba, CAN; Winnipeg Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov (7) is congratulated by his teammates on his goal against the St. Louis Blues during the second period in game five of the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Canada Life Centre. Mandatory Credit: Terrence Lee-Imagn Images Kyle Connor had a goal and two assists for the Winnipeg Jets in a 5-3 win against the visiting St. Louis Blues in Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round series Wednesday night.
The Jets own a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series heading to Game 6 on Friday in St. Louis.
Vladislav Namestnikov and Nino Niederreiter each had a goal and an assist, Mason Appleton had three assists and Connor Hellebuyck made 16 saves for the Jets, who bounced back from one-sided losses in Games 3 and 4 in St. Louis.
Nathan Walker scored two goals, Jimmy Snuggerud also scored in his 12th NHL game and Jordan Binnington made 21 saves for the Blues, the second wild-card team from the Western Conference.
The Jets scored three straight goals after Snuggerud tied it at 2 with a wrist shot from the right circle off the rush, slipping the puck between Hellebuyck and the near post at 6:06 of the second period.
A point shot by Jets defenseman Dylan DeMelo deflected off St. Louis defenseman Colton Parayko and into his own net to move the Jets back in front 3-2 at 11:05.
The Blues extended the lead to 4-2 at 18:59 of the second when Namestnikov scored off a backhand feed from Connor to finish off another rush.
Adam Lowry scored into an empty net with 3:13 remaining to make it 5-2.
Walker answered with a goal to cut it to 5-3 with 53 seconds left.
Winnipeg forward Gabriel Vilardi returned after missing 15 games with an upper-body injury and he took the first shot on goal before Connor scored on the second for a 1-0 lead at 1:23.
Appleton kicked the puck to teammate Mark Scheifele behind the St. Louis net and Scheifele passed it out front to Connor for a one-timer from the left hash marks.
The Blues quickly tied it at 1 at 3:42.
Walker was stationed in front of Hellebuyck when he tipped in a wrist shot by Parayko from above the right circle.
Niederreiter then pulled up in front of Binnington and tipped in a shot to move Winnipeg back ahead 2-1 at 8:39 of the first.
Scheifele did not return after the first period because of the effects of a hit by Brayden Schenn earlier in the period, resulting in an interference penalty on Schenn.
Scheifele was second on the Jets in goals (37) and points (87) during the regular season.

Ryan Day pushes back on NIL being key factor for Ohio State roster building: ‘Not what won us a championship’
Imagn Images Ohio State coach Ryan Day defended his championship roster from claims of "buying" a national championship in a wide-ranging interview with CBS Sports' Josh Pate. Pate asked Day about the ability to create a nucleus of homegrown players, and Day took it as a chance to clarify just how he constructed his championship roster. "The truth of the matter is that the majority of those guys were all guys that decided to come back or were already on the team that we recruited and developed," Day said." We did add six or seven guys, but not 15, not 20 where we just went out there and just got the best players in college football. That wasn't the case. That's not what won us a championship."Day is correct -- the vast majority of game-changing players on the roster were homegrown. […]

Craque Neto aponta clube “subestimado” no Brasil: “Parece que perdeu tudo”
Craque Neto avalia o futebol brasileiro. Foto: Reprodução/TV Band Craque Neto avaliou a temporada do Corinthians e argumentou que o clube está sendo tratado injustamente de forma muito negativa neste primeiro semestre. “Parece que o Corinthians está em último lugar no campeonato, parece que não ganhou o Campeonato Paulista, parece que está horrível. Parece que perdeu tudo. Não perdeu tudo, ganhou o Paulistão, está fora da Libertadores, tem quatro pontos na Sul-Americana, perdeu só para o São Paulo no Paulista…”, argumentou o apresentador. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE O Alvinegro Paulista vive uma verdadeira “montanha-russa” em 2025.
