Tyler Myers and Paul Stastny scored 2:06 apart in the first period, and the Jets stunned the Nashville Predators 5-1 in their first Game 7 to continue an amazing run for a team swept in its previous two playoff appearances. Nashville now is the ninth Presidents’ Trophy winner in 10 years not to win the Stanley Cup.
