After his goal, Cole Perfetti (91) from Winnipeg Jets celebrates the St. Louis Blues during the third period of game 7 in an NHL hockey playoff series in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sunday, May 4th, 2025.

Winnipeg, Manitoba (AP) -Adam Lowry achieved 16:10 in the second extension and the Winnipeg jets gathered 4: 3 on Sunday evening to get into the second round of the NHL playoffs.

Cole Perfetti scored two goals, Vladislav Namestnikov also scored goals, and Kyle Connor and Neal Pionk each had three templates for Winnipeg, which scored two goals in the last two minutes of regulation to connect the score. Connor Hellebuyck ended with 26 parades.

Lowry steered Pionk's shot from the right point late in the second extension to end the third longest game 7 in NHL history with 96:10.

“It is incredibly special,” said Lowry. “I have probably dreamed that it was a bit nicer than just going from my leg, but it is one of these things, on the outer lane, in the entrance you dream of being the hero in a game 7 and giving yourself the chance to continue to hunt a Stanley Cup.”

The jets will compete next Wednesday at home at the first off -season meeting of the Dallas stars.

Jordan Kyrou, Mathieu Joseph and Radek Faksa achieved for the blues. Jordan Binnington had 43 parades.

Winnipeg won the first president of the franchise after he had a record of the regular season 56: 22-4 in the league, and was the favorites against the blues of the eighth seed. They needed a late comeback so as not to be expelled in the first round for a third year in a row.

“In these first rounds, these were heartbreaking,” said Jets in the first year, coach Scott Arniel, who was the association's associate coach in the last two seasons. “Last year, obviously with the season we had (52 victories), we didn't want to go out this year. That was one of the news that I said to these boys: 'Do your best game and have no regret.” And that's what it went. “

Winnipeg had declined 3-1 in the third period when Namestnikov scored 1:56 goals after his shot from the blues defender Ryan Suters went into the blues.

When Hellebuyck was pulled for an additional skater, Winnipeg seemed to connect 50 seconds later, but a review decided that the puck did not exceed the goal line.

Perfetti then scored his second redirected goal of the game with 3 seconds to raise raging white fans from their seats in the Canada Life Center around 15,225.

“Also 3: 1, there was no doubt,” said Perfetti. “We had the belief together and believe that we would come back. I am just so proud of this group and proud to be part of it.”

Winnipeg went into the first extension to the Powerplay 6:20 when St. Louis captain Brayden Schnn was called to delay the game. The jets tried to hit the puck into the fold, but Binnington covered it. He also stopped Nikolaj Ehlers with an outlier.

The jets were for the second game in a row without Star Center Mark Scheifele (upper body injury) and then lost the top defender Josh Morrissey for about eight minutes in the first period.

“To play this long game with five defenders, it is quite incredible,” said Ehlers. “So do them in front of these boys. They held on it.”

The home team won every game in this series.

Kyrou scored at 1:10 of the first period after playing and Colton Parayko on the first shot of the blues of the game. It was the fastest goal to start a game 7 in the history of blues.

Joseph made it 2-0 after picking up a loose puck in the neutral zone. With Morrissey as a screen, Joseph sent a wrist past Halslebuyck at 7:16 a.m.

Morrissey went to the dressing shortly after the finish. At the beginning of the game he was hit by Blues Forward Oskar Sundqvist in the boards and seemed painful when he was sitting on the bench. He didn't return.

The jets missed a few chances at the beginning of the second half, but got the game's first power play and let it count quickly. Seven seconds after Sundqvist, Connor sent the puck on the side of the network to Perfetti and Perfetti derived it from Binnington with 8:19.

St. Louis received a two-goal lead again after Ehlers lost the puck and Faksa Hellebuyck defeated his glove over his glove with 34.1 seconds a second.

Winnipeg/Atlanta Thrasher's franchise is now 2-8 of all time when you eliminate. The other victory took place in game 7 of her second round against Nashville in 2018. The original version of the Jets lost a few game 7 on the street in 1990 and 1992.

St. Louis is now 10-9 in game 7s.
