Jets lineup tonight: Winnipeg’s projected lineup for Game 7 against the St. Louis Blues | Stanley Cup Playoffs, Round 1, May 4, 2025

Tonight, the Winnipeg Jets will look to close out their first-round series against the St. Louis Blues at home.

After the Jets jumped out to a 2-0 series lead, the Blues tied things up at home. Since then, both sides have defended home ice, with the Jets winning Game 5 and the Blues winning Game 6.

Now, both teams will have a chance to pick up a big Game 7 win and advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

For Winnipeg, the big question heading into tonight's game is whether Connor Hellebuyck can rise to the occasion and perform the way he did during the regular season after being pulled for the third time in three games, amid a game where he stopped 18 of a possible 23 shots.
