Head-to-Head:
The series is tied 2-2, with St. Louis taking control in recent games, winning 12-3 in the last two matchups. However, Winnipeg's home record and the presence of elite goalie Connor Hellebuyck gives them a slight edge heading into this crucial Game 5.
St. Louis Blues Breakdown:
St. Louis has found offensive rhythm lately, averaging 3.9 goals per game in their last 10. Jordan Kyrou continues to be a key scorer, and Robert Thomas has 81 points this season, making the offense potent. However, their penalty kill (74.3%) could be a major vulnerability against Winnipeg's power play.
Defensively, the Blues allow 2.82 goals per game, and Jordan Binnington has posted a 2.62 GAA and a .895 SV%. With key defensemen injured, their defense will need to step up to prevent the high-powered Jets offense from breaking through.
Key Players:
-
Jordan Kyrou: 3 goals, 7 assists in the last 10 games
-
Robert Thomas: 4 goals, 14 assists in the last 10 games
Winnipeg Jets Breakdown:
Winnipeg has been elite at home, going 30-7-4 and winning 8 of their last 10. Connor Hellebuyck, with a stellar 2.01 GAA and .925 SV%, is the backbone of their success. The Jets' defense allows just 2.32 goals per game, and their penalty kill (79.4%) should make life difficult for the Blues' power play.
Offensively, Kyle Connor has been dynamic with 41 goals and 97 points, and Mark Scheifele is always a threat. With Nikolaj Ehlers out, the Jets will lean on these two to carry the offensive load.
Key Players:
-
Kyle Connor: 6 goals, 5 assists in the last 10 games
-
Mark Scheifele: 4 goals, 6 assists in the last 10 games

Winnipeg Jets 3-Way ML (-110)
The Jets are strong at home and have been dominant in previous meetings with the Blues, winning 7 of the last 10 matchups. With Connor Hellebuyck in net and their top-tier defense, Winnipeg should tighten up after recent struggles on the road. St. Louis may have found offensive success, but Winnipeg’s defensive prowess and home advantage should secure them a multi-goal win.
