Jets Captain Adam Lowry Scores Double OT Winner in Game 7 Thriller Against Blues
In a heart-stopping conclusion to one of the most intense series of the 2025 NHL Playoffs, Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry emerged as the hero, netting the Game 7 overtime winner in double OT to eliminate the St. Louis Blues. The goal sealed a dramatic 3-2 victory for the Jets, punching their ticket to the second round and sending Canada Life Centre into a frenzy.
The series-deciding game was everything fans hoped for: physical, fast-paced, and unpredictable. With the series tied 3-3 heading into the final game, both teams fought relentlessly for every inch of ice. After regulation ended in a 2-2 deadlock, the pressure escalated as the game extended into a second overtime period—where playoff legends are made.
It was at 12:47 of the second OT when Lowry, known for his gritty two-way play and leadership, capitalized on a rebound in front of Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington. The goal not only sent the Jets flying onto the ice in celebration but also reinforced Lowry’s clutch reputation in playoff hockey.
The Jets had opened scoring early in the first period, but the Blues answered back with two quick goals in the second frame. Winnipeg tied it in the third thanks to a power-play goal from Kyle Connor, setting the stage for the high-stakes extra time.
Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck delivered a masterclass in net, stopping 44 of 46 shots, including several high-danger chances during the overtime frames. His stellar performance was pivotal in keeping the Jets alive when the Blues surged in extra time.
On the other end, Jordan Binnington also stood tall, making 41 saves in a valiant effort that kept the Blues competitive until the very end.
For Lowry, this marks a defining moment in his captaincy. Since taking over leadership of the Jets, he has been a vocal and physical force, but this game-winner elevates his legacy. It was his second goal of the series and easily the most important of his career to date.
The win sends the Jets to the Western Conference semifinals, where they await the winner of the Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars series. With momentum and morale soaring, Winnipeg will look to carry their resilience and leadership into the next round.
Fans and analysts alike are calling this one of the most memorable Game 7 finishes in recent franchise history—a testament to playoff passion and determination.
