St. Louis Blues vs. Winnipeg Jets preview

The Winnipeg Jets are on the cusp of advancing to the Second Round, holding a 3-2 series lead over the St. Louis Blues heading into Friday's Game 6 at Enterprise Center.

This series has developed into an unexpected scoring festival with the teams combining for a staggering 34 goals through five games, including Winnipeg's 5-3 victory in Game 5.

Kyle Connor and Mason Appleton have powered the Jets' offense with four goals and nine assists between them, while the Blues counter with their dynamic duo of Pavel Buchnevich and Robert Thomas, who have terrorized Winnipeg's struggling defense.

Despite their offensive fireworks, both teams have received questionable goaltending, with Connor Hellebuyck allowing 18 goals on 101 shots for Winnipeg and Jordan Binnington surrendering 13 goals on 122 shots for St. Louis.

The Enterprise Center crowd should create an electric atmosphere as the desperate Blues, who won both previous home games in this series, look to force a decisive Game 7 back in Winnipeg.

With both defenses showing considerable vulnerability throughout the series, fans can expect another high-scoring affair as the Jets aim to close things out while St. Louis fights to keep their season alive.
