The Jets, who won their first Presidents’ Trophy this season, will next face the Dallas Stars in the second round, their first postseason meeting. Key performances included three assists each from Kyle Connor and Neal Pionk, and two goals from Perfetti, while Blues goalie Jordan Binnington made 43 saves in a losing effort.
