There was yet again another Stanley Cup Playoffs classic on Sunday night, as the Winnipeg Jets are heading to the next round after defeating the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 in miraculous fashion. 

This game needed double overtime to determine the Jets as the 4–3 winners, but it was so close to the Blues walking out of the Canada Life Centre with the road victory. 

The Jets emptied their net and watched as the seconds ticked off the clock in the offensive zone, just hoping for a shot on net to give them a chance at the 3-3 tie and the game in overtime.

Nikolaj Ehlers got that opportunity when the puck came to him at the blue line, and he sent a rocket toward the net, but he whiffed on the one-timer. However, the puck came right back his way, and instead of attempting another slap shot, he swung it over to Neal Pionk on the right wing. 

Pionk quickly sent the puck toward the net, and Perfetti was right there for the tip that made it past Blues netminder Jordan Binnington as the clock hit 1.6 seconds left. It beat the buzzer and the crowd went ballistic, knowing the Jets still had a chance to move on in the playoffs. 

It was a Game 7 moment professional athletes dream about, but it would not have meant much if they could not seal the deal.
