Winnipeg and Colorado Win
Jets 5 – Blues 3 (en) In Manitoba you do not attend a game in Winnipeg unless you are wearing white, and no other NHL fans/arenas come close to matching the “white out” at The Peg.
St. Louis took the lead twice, tied the game twice before Winnipeg outshot the Blues 9-2 in the third period as well as scoring three times with one empty netter to capture the home win.
Winnipeg and St. Louis in the last 19 seconds of the game earned 10 Misconduct penalties, five for each team in a game where the Blues laid 53 hits on Jets players, this series has become physical fast.
Avalanche 5 – Stars 1 (en) Dallas hosting Colorado came down to the goaltenders, one with plenty of playoff experience and the other not a single post season game, and in his first playoff start Colorado Goaltender Blackwood stood tall and earned the game one victory.
Both teams took 24 SOG, both teams scored on the power play, faceoffs nearly even, the Stars killed off an Avalanche two-man advantage, Colorado scored an empty net tally before scoring their fifth goal, and the first goal of the game was not scored until halfway through the game.
