Beating the Winnipeg Jets in six games made the Blues the first such team to reach the second round from that far back. Within this locker room we had a lot of tough conversations and honest conversations of what we needed to get better,'' Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo said. We still had belief in this room, as hard as it was or maybe as hard as it was for some people to believe, we felt like we still had a chance and we just kept pushing.

It was a hard fought series between these two clubs, but it definitely wasn’t a hard fought game as the Jets were clearly out-matched from the very first shift. It took less than a minute for the Blues to get on the board and they never looked back as they acquired a three goal lead throughout the night. Winnipeg had absolutely zero push-back until it was far too late as they added a few late goals and almost made it interesting. With such a poor effort to end the season, there were many things that deserved a thumbs down and only one person deserved a thumbs up. Thumbs up to Connor Hellebuyck. Let’s start with the only positive aspect of the game. Connor Hellebuyck was absolutely sensational from the very beginning. He got no help from his teammates and had to make save after save to keep the score close. The first goal didn’t look the greatest, but I’m not sure what you can expect when Byfuglien is falling back into the crease

Yes, there were red flags for the Winnipeg Jets late in the regular season, yet even pessimists weren't expecting a flat finish like this. With the Jets' season on the line, they offered up a largely flat effort against the Blues (PHT's Scott Billeck nailed it when he compared Winnipeg's urgency to that of a grazing cow), falling 3-2 in Game 6. With that, St. Louis wins the series 4-2, and will move on to Round 2 to take on the winner of the Nashville Predators – Dallas Stars series.

DALLAS 5 NASHVILLE 3 (Dallas leads best-of-seven series 3-2) Jason Dickinson and Alexander Radulov each scored twice while Tyler Seguin scored the winner to lead the Dallas Stars to a 5-3 win over Nashville and take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series with Game 6 back at home in Dallas. Ben Bishop was once again stellar in the Dallas cage as he stopped 30 shots on the same day he was named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, in leading the Stars to the victory. The Predators opened the scoring when Rocco Grimaldi (not of Monaco fame) scored his third goal of the series, 6:25 into the first period to give the hometown side the early lead.

The Jets exited the post-season in depressing fashion. Winnipeg entered tonight with its back against the wall. Down 2-3 in the playoff series against the St. Louis Blues, the Jets needed to steal a win on the road to force a game 7 back in friendly territory. Both teams have only taken victories on the road, so there was a modicum of hope that Winnipeg would put out a good effort in St. Louis. Did the Jets string together a quality comeback effort, or was the series finally closed out in merciful fashion? The First Period The game got off to a rather horrific start, with Jaden
