When the Winnipeg Jets last hosted a Game 7, it wasn’t in the NHL. It was 1977, in the now-defunct WHA, when they took down the San Diego Mariners. This Sunday, nearly five decades later, the stakes are higher, the league is stronger, and the stage is set: a winner-take-all Game 7 in the Western Conference first round between the Winnipeg Jets and the St. Louis Blues. The Jets enter with history, hardware, and home ice. The Blues bring momentum, swagger, and the belief that they’ve already cracked the code. Not one road team has tasted victory in this series. That’s been both a blessing and a curse for the Jets, who now have the weight of expectation pressing down.

After allowing six stolen bases—three in a decisive eighth-inning rally—New York looks to avoid dropping its third home series. The Yankees held Tampa Bay to one hit and no steals in Friday’s 3–0 win, but Saturday’s defensive lapses underscored the need for renewed focus in the finale. The Rays unleashed their most prolific running game since August 2024, turning a double and triple steal into a 3–2 victory.

The Red Sox aim to avoid consecutive series losses as Garrett Crochet takes the mound in Sunday’s rubber game against a Twins squad that evened the set with a 4–3 win Saturday. Minnesota thrives when reaching four runs, a threshold the club has met in each victory this season. Garrett Crochet (3–2, 2.05 ERA) delivered seven innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts in his last outing, answering a rough patch against Seattle by showcasing the control and aggression that have made him Boston’s ace. He’ll look to replicate that mastery against a lineup that battles through tight contests. Minnesota sits at 14–3 when scoring four or more runs but 0–17 when they don’t, highlighting the importance of timely hitting.
