Jets defenseman Luke Schenn and Blues captain Brayden Schenn became the first siblings to go head-to-head in a Game 7 since Rob and Scott Niedermayer in 2003. The NHL acknowledged the milestone on X.

In the weekend's other Game 7 classic, with the Stars down 2-0 in the third period, Rantanen scored two goals to tie the game, and then he assisted on Wyatt Johnston's game-winning goal with under four minutes left. To pour a little more salt in the wound, Rantanen sealed the win with an empty-net goal to complete his hat trick.
