Blues Face Elimination Against Jets in Game 6

In the first-round NHL playoff series between the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets, the home team has won each of the first five games, giving St. Louis hope as they face elimination in Game 6 at home. The Blues have been dominant on their own ice, boasting a 14-game home winning streak and high offensive output, particularly in Games 3 and 4. Despite trailing in the series, St. Louis has successfully disrupted Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck and maintained a strong power play. Winnipeg, the top regular-season team, will attempt to clinch the series on the road but will be without star Mark Scheifele, who was injured in Game 5 after heavy physical play. Both teams have leaned into a highly physical style, and coaches expect more of the same intensity in Game 6. The Blues' resilience in facing elimination and their home ice advantage may prove pivotal as they try to extend their season.
