I'd think it would be

And the Jets get it done in 2OT on a deflection from Joel Lowry's brother, Adam!

With the Avs' unfortunate third-period collapse

Meanwhile, the Blues final two minute collapse keeps Barron alive headed to overtime.  Morgan is 2-6 in faceoffs tonight and presumably has looked every bit of it.

Not that Morgan did a ton to acquit himself later in the game, but he stuck it out with the rest of the Jets and they won the fourth-longest game seven in NHL history (after the latest tying goal in NHL game seven history).

Bring on Dallas!

EDIT: Apparently THIRD longest game seven in NHL history by the time it actually ended. Zoiks.

Even though he wasn't superb in the faceoff dot tonight, I saw several strong shifts from him in both OT periods, and Arniel must have a lot of faith in his play as he was 5th among Winnipeg forwards in ice time with 26:42.

His faceoff numbers improved in the OT's

Fair - and he wasn't afraid to put his body in play, like always - but he also looked a step behind the Blues most of both OTs.

I watched only the first overtime, when he was chasing the play the whole time. TBH I was terrified he was going to get a hook or an interference and put them down a man.  That would have been suboptimal.

Boy, he tries, though!  He is busting his ass every second out there, and that is wonderful to see.

I think the whole taking a skate blade to the face and getting 75 stitches only to return later in the same game situation back in the 2023 playoffs forever endeared Barron to his teammates (and Jets fans):

Man that shit is terrifying.

Unfortunately Barron has fallen to the bottom of the jets lineup after getting a good amount of playing time earlier in the playoffs. Probably due to him being -7 in the last 6 games.

Not to mention Dallas kicking the shit out of Winnipeg in the past few games.  Not exactly productive to use your 4th line when you're two goals behind.

The biggest reason for Barron's decreased time is Mark Scheifele's return to the lineup in Game 4 after having been out with an injury which occurred in Game 5 vs. St. Louis.  In Game 7 vs. St. louis, Barron took almost all of the d-zone faceoffs in the two overtimes with Adam Lowry (brother of alum Joel Lowry) taking most of the o-zone faceoffs.
