The Jets blanked the Stars 4-0 in Game 2 to tie this series behind star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Hellebuyck stopped all 21 shots he faced in a return to form after his shaky Round 1 performance.

The Winnipeg Jets were very fortunate and equally clutch to escape from their first-round series against the St. Louis Blues in Game 7. The Jets trailed by two goals with just two minutes remaining, but they improbably came back to tie the game and eventually won it 4-3 in overtime.
