Winnipeg Jets deliver powerful win against the St. Louis Blues

The match commenced with the score tied 2-2, and the Winnipeg Jets had the pressure to deliver a performance that would silence the critics. Mark Scheifele, their star center, had to exit the game after the first period. That is when Vladislav Namestnik stepped up and delivered a goal against the Blues. Additionally, performers like Nino Niederreiter, Mason Appleton and Adam Lowry were at the top of their game.
Post the match, Adam Lowry captain of the Winnipeg Jets shared at the podium, “Sometimes when you lose your No. 1 center, you lose a key piece to your lineup, there can be a bit of a sag, an emotional letdown. But you know, I thought the guys really rallied around it. Coming in the intermission and finding out he’s not coming back, guys were upbeat. Guys needed to step up.”
At the same time, Jets coach Scott Arniel shared, "We were physical. We were battling. Competing. Doing all the things we have to do to get ourselves going. Just real proud of the way the guys stuck together and just played our game. We got to Jet hockey. We got to Jet hockey early and we played it for 60 minutes."

Arniell however, was not happy with the fact that Scheifele had to exit the game. He shared, "There's some things that have been going on in this series and that was a repeat of what we've seen before. A player leaving his feet and then hitting a player in a very unprotected spot. Hitting him in the sense of almost blindsiding him. I'm not happy with how the call was made. A two-minute minor. Not even looking at it is what I was upset about. And it is something that we have talked to the league about for five games."
