Approaching game four, this is a crucial game for both teams. For the St. Louis Blues, game four means an opportunity to take a stranglehold over the Jets with a 3-1 series lead. The stakes are higher for Winnipeg; to tie the series at two means a new opportunity, but to be down 3-1 means a constant uphill battle from here on out. Sometimes desperation brings out a teams best qualities, but for a team like the Jets, they would way rather have that control.
