Jets power past Blues 5-3

Last night the Winnipeg Jets kicked off the second half of the season on a high note, beating the Blues 5-3 at the Scottrade Center in St Louis.

 

Alex Steen opened the scoring for the Blues early in the first, but Mark Scheifele evened things up with his 23rd goal of the campaign late in the period and the Jets never looked back.

 

Laine, Ehlers, Trouba and Wheeler potted the other Winnipeg goals while St Louis sniper Vladimir Tarasenko and captain Alex Pietrangelo added the other Blues goals.

 

Scheifele and Wheeler both had three point games, with Scheifele earning honours as the first star of the game.

 

Ondrej Pavelec stopped 24 of 27 en route to his third win of the season in the five games he’s played.

 

He currently has a record of 3-2-0 with a GAA of 3.25 and a .893 save percentage.

 

With the win, the Jets improved to 24-25-4 on the season. Winnipeg is currently one point back of the second Western Conference wild card spot currently being held by the Blues.

 

The Jets next play Tuesday in Dallas against the Stars.
