Jets squander yet another early lead, lose 3-2 to Blues in Game 5 stunner

It has become an all-too-familiar theme this season, these Winnipeg Jets and their inability to lock down a third-period lead.

And it cost them in perhaps the most stunning way possibly Thursday night, as a 2-0 advantage turned into a 3-2 defeat. Jaden Schwartz scored the winner with just 15 seconds left in the third period to steal yet another victory at Bell MTS Place.

The Blues now lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, having won all three games on the road. They can clinch the series on Saturday night when Game 6 goes down at Enterprise Center.
