Game 7 between the Jets and Predators may have been played in Nashville, but that didn't stop the Winnipeg faithful from rallying together to cheer on their team. 

The Winnipeg whiteout was in full force at Bell MTS Place, which hosted a viewing party for the second-round series finale.

The Jets came up big for their passionate fan base, as Mark Scheifele and Paul Stastny each scored a pair of goals to lift Winnipeg to a 5-1 win, earning their first trip to the Western Conference finals in franchise history.

After the final buzzer sounded, the crowd at Bell MTS Place waved their rally towels and cheered to celebrate their team's accomplishment.

The party didn't stop there, as fans filed out of the arena and brought the festivities to the intersection of Portage and Main.

There was even time for a heartfelt rendition of "O Canada."

While some fans chose to celebrate in the streets, other Jets fans showed off their Winnipeg white at local events, or even on a jet.

Back in Nashville, forward Adam Lowry shared a message with the team's fanbase. 

The Jets will return to Bell MTS Place for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.
