Notable:

It was a good start for Winnipeg as Cole Perfetti feathered a perfect pass to Nikolaj Ehlers for the opening goal of the game. It was his 18th goal of the season. And fresh off signing a two-year contract extension Vlad Namestnikov got his 20th assist of the game.

In the middle frame a really deceptive play by Mark Scheifele to get the puck over to Gabriel Vilardi gave the Jets the lead back over the Blues.

Great work by Gabriel Vilardi as he tips it home to tie the game late. Really nice work by Cole Perfetti to get it back to Kyle Connor who gets his 40th assist and 70th point of the season with the primary assist.

What a shot by Kyle Connor for the shoootout GWG.
