WINNIPEG — Anyone expecting a familiar collapse from the Jets can relax for the moment.

Even with the series tied 2-2, the Winnipeg Jets faced significant doubt entering Game 5, especially after disappointing performances in St. Louis.

Concerns lingered about Connor Hellebuyck`s form, the struggling power play, and a lack of offensive contributions from depth players.

However, as this season has shown, *this* version of the Jets is different from previous iterations. Their 5-3 victory against the Blues on Wednesday perfectly demonstrated this change.

The team could have easily faltered when key player Mark Scheifele left the game after the opening period.
