Denmark pulls off huge upset with quarterfinal win over Canada at hockey worlds
HERNING — The third period of the world hockey championship quarterfinal between Canada and Denmark was dominated by a team that outshot its opponent 22-10 and scored a pair of game-breaking goals less than two minutes apart. But it was not 28-time champion Canada, captained by Sidney Crosby and loaded with top NHL talent, that showed the killer instinct Thursday at a rocking Jyske Bank Boxen arena. Plucky tournament co-host Denmark, which needed a shootout victory over Germany on the last day of preliminary round action just to reach the quarterfinals, saw Canada off with a 2-1 victory to the delight of their home fans.

Canada was eliminated despite having a team with several players from its championship roster at this year's 4 Nations Face-Off, including Crosby, 2024 NHL MVP Nathan MacKinnon and goaltender Jordan Binnington. With Canada clinging to a one-goal lead, the Danes pulled goaltender Frederik Dichow for an extra attacker with just under two minutes remaining. The move paid off when Nikolaj Ehlers — playing in just his second game of the tournament after joining Denmark following the elimination of the Winnipeg Jets from the NHL playoffs _ fired a shot through traffic that eluded Binnington. Riding a wave of confidence, the Danes completed the upset when Nick Olesen picked up a rebound and scored with 49 seconds remaining, sending Denmark to the semifinals for the first time. Denmark owes much of its victory to Dichow, who stopped all 30 shots he faced over the opening two periods to frustrate the Canadians and give his team no shortage of swagger. Canada outshot Denmark 18-4 in the first period alone. Canada defenceman Travis Sanheim finally solved Sanheim at 5:17 of the third period, but the Danes would not back down. Binnington was called upon to make several saves as Canada held onto its tenuous lead before the Danes ultimately broke through. Denmark appeared to open the scoring in the second period when Morten Poulsen scored on a breakaway, but the goal was disallowed due to a glove pass. Dichow, a Montreal Canadiens fifth-round pick in 2019 who plays for HV71 Jonkoping in Sweden, made 39 saves overall, while Binnington stopped 30 shots for Canada. Canada rolled into the quarterfinals after finishing first in Group A, ending the preliminary round with an emphatic 5-3 win over co-host Sweden in Stockholm. The Danes will face Switzerland, which routed Austria 6-0 on Thursday, in the semifinals on Saturday. The United States will take on Sweden in the other semifinal.

Epic Jets comeback among takeaways from thrilling 2-OT win in Game 7 against Blues
The Winnipeg Jets trailed by two goals with less than two minutes to play in regulation, and by one in the dying seconds. But the Presidents' Trophy winners showed their mettle in an epic Game 7 double-overtime victory to eliminate the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Sunday night in front of an ear-splitting crowd at Canada Life Centre. Dave Lowry scored the series winner at 16:10 of the second overtime, when he deflected Neal Pionk's shot from the just inside the blue line past Blues goalie Jordan Binnington. The Jets largely dominated each overtime period, but Binnington was outstanding, keeping the score tied 3-3 after the Blues blew a two-goal lead late in the third period. Binnington stopped 11 shots in the first overtime, including a Hadyn Fleury slap shot that hit a stick in front and dove down quickly, forcing the Blues goalie to make an unreal left-pad save. Binnington also denied Nikolaj Ehlers on a partial breakaway. Advertisement Winnipeg was stopped seven more times in the second OT and hit a post before Lowry ended this one with his third goal of the series. That the Jets even reached overtime was pretty incredible. With the Jets trailing 3-1 and goalie Connor Hellebuyck pulled for an extra attacker, they got a goal from Vladislav Namestnikov at 18:04 to make things interesting. With Hellebuyck again on the bench, Cole Perfetti scored his second of the night, this one off a perfect deflection at 19:57. The Blues raced to a 2-0 lead in the first period and never trailed until Lowry's overtime heroics finished them off. Jordan Kyrou scored just 1:10 into the game and grinding forward Mathieu Joseph doubled their lead at 7:16. Advertisement Jets coach Scott Arniel said his team was nervous at the start but settled in as the game wore on. They pulled to within 2-1 on Perfetti's power-play goal at 11:41 of the second period, another pretty deflection. But Radek Faksa answered back for the Blues at 19:25, scoring his first of the series off the rush, to make it 3-1 St. Louis. It would be the Blues' final goal of the series. Hellebuyck faced only 13 shots the rest of the way — only four each in the third period and first overtime — and stopped them all.

Resilient Jets This was a super resilient effort by the Jets, one that saved their season. Not only did they have that epic comeback late in the third period, but they did it without two of their most important players. Advertisement They were without No. 1 center Mark Scheifele for the second straight game due to an unspecified injury. Then the Jets lost their top defenseman Josh Morrissey in the first period. He left the game following Joseph's goal put the Jets in a 2-0 hole. But others stepped up in a massive way for their brothers. Pionk had three assists, including on Namestnikov's goal and Lowry's game-winner, and played nearly half the game with a whopping 46:15 TOI. HIs defense partner Dylan Samberg logged an even 44 minutes; and Dylan Demelo was out there more than 36 minutes. Up front Kyle Connor played 36:08 and had three assists; Namestnikov saw more key minutes (25+) and scored a hugely important goal; and Perfetti netted a pair.

Interestingly, the previous Game 7 to go to overtime was exactly one year ago — May 4, 2024 — when David Pastrnak scored the series-winner for the Boston Bruins in a 2-1 first round victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Advertisement You have to go back to April 30, 2023 for the most recent Game 7 decided in multiple overtimes. That was when Carter Verhaeghe lifted the Florida Panthers to a 4-3 win in triple overtime to eliminate the Bruins in the first round. Of course, this was the second Game 7 in as many days in these Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Dallas Stars overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third period by scoring four unanswered goals for the 4-2 win. The Stars and Jets will meet in a best-of-7 second-round series beginning Wednesday in Winnipeg. 3. It really is 'Win'ipeg The Jets won 30 times at Canada Life Centre this season. Only the Carolina Hurricanes and Los Angeles Kings (each with 31) had more victories at home in the regular season. And it really was 'Win'ipeg in this first-round series against the Blues. The Jets won all four games played in the 'Peg, scoring four goals or more three times and outscoring the Blues 16-10. On the road, the Jets were 0-3 and totaled just five goals. Worse, Hellebuyck was pulled in each of those games. The good news for the Jets is that they have home-ice advantage for the entirety of the postseason, earning that right as the Presidents' Trophy winner with the League's best record in the regular season.

Lowry scores late in 2OT to rally Jets to 4-3 win over Blues in Game 7 to advance to 2nd round
The DLB crew breaks down Alex Ovechkin's legacy after breaking the NHL's all-time goals record, questioning how much the legend has left in the tank at 39 years old. WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Adam Lowry scored on a tipped shot 16:10 into the second overtime and the Winnipeg Jets rallied to beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Sunday night to advance to the second round of the NHL playoffs. Cole Perfetti had two goals, Vladislav Namestnikov also scored, and Kyle Connor and Neal Pionk each had three assists for Winnipeg, which scored twice in the final two minutes of regulation to tie the score. Connor Hellebuyck finished with 26 saves. Jordan Kyrou, Mathieu Joseph and Radek Faksa scored for the Blues. Jordan Binnington had 43 saves. Lowry deflected Pionk's shot from the right point late in the second overtime to give the Jets the win and end the third-longest Game 7 in NHL history at 96:10. The Jets will next face the Dallas Stars starting Wednesday at home in the teams' first postseason meeting. Winnipeg was down 3-1 in the third period when Namestnikov scored with 1:56 remaining after his shot went in off Blues defenseman Ryan Suter. With Hellebuyck pulled for an extra skater, Winnipeg appeared to tied it up 50 seconds later, but a review ruled the puck didn't cross the goal line. Perfetti then scored his second redirected goal of the game with 3 seconds remaining to lift 15,225 frenzied white-clad fans out of their seats inside Canada Life Centre. Winnipeg went on the power play 6:20 into the first overtime when St. Louis captain Brayden Schenn was called for delay of game. The Jets tried to pound the puck in the crease, but Binnington covered it. Binnington also stopped Nikolaj Ehlers on a breakaway. The Jets outshot the Blues 11-4 in the first extra session. The Jets were without star center Mark Scheifele (upper body injury) for the second straight game and then lost top defenseman Josh Morrissey about eight minutes into the first period. Winnipeg won the franchise's first Presidents' Trophy after having a league-best 56-22-4 regular-season record and were the favorites against the eighth-seeded Blues. The Jets jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, but ended up hosting the first-ever Game 7 in the city. Kyrou scored on the Blues' first shot of the game at 1:10 of the first period after he and Colton Parayko went on the rush. It marked the fastest goal to begin a Game 7 in Blues' history. Joseph made it 2-0 after picking up a loose puck dropped by Connor in the neutral zone. Using Morrissey as a screen, Joseph sent a wrist shot past Hellebuyck on the stick side at 7:16. Morrissey went to the dressing soon after the goal. Earlier in the game, he got hit into the boards by Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist and appeared to be in pain as he sat on the bench. He didn't return. The Jets missed on a couple chances early in the second period, but got the game's first power play and quickly made it count. Seven seconds after Sundqvist was called for slashing, Connor sent the puck toward Perfetti at the side of the net and Perfetti redirected it by Binnington with 8:19 remaining. St. Louis regained a two-goal lead after Ehlers lost the puck and Faksa beat Hellebuyck high over his glove with 34.1 seconds left in the second. The Winnipeg/Atlanta Thrashers franchise is now 2-8 all-time when facing elimination. The other win came in Game 7 of their second-round series against Nashville in 2018. The original version of the Jets lost a pair of Game 7s on the road in 1990 and '92. It was St. Louis's 19th all-time Game 7, the most among all non-Original NHL clubs. The franchise now has a 10-9 record in such games.
