First came the tying goal in the waning seconds of regulation, then the game-winner in the second overtime period.

Winnipeg Jets fans rocked the house (inside and out) for both moments.

Fans erupted outside Canada Life Centre on Sunday after Adam Lowry’s double overtime winner in Game 7 of the Western Conference First Round, releasing the tension that was building up over nearly 90 minutes of playoff hockey.

But first came the reaction to Cole Perfetti’s game-tying goal with under two seconds to go in regulation to force overtime.

Just as all hope seemed lost…

With the thrilling Game 7 victory, the Jets move on to the Western Conference Second Round where they will face off against the Dallas Stars starting on Wednesday, right back in Winnipeg.
