WINNIPEG – The exhausted Winnipeg Jets were still hugging everyone in their dressing room after Sunday night’s thrilling Game 7, 4-3 double overtime victory over the St. Louis Blues when they were reminded the ultimate mission is far from done.
The Jets, who battled back from a 3-1 deficit late in the third period before captain Adam Lowry sealed the deal at 16:10 of double overtime, were informed that their second-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars begins Wednesday night in Winnipeg.
