Mark Scheifele reached 99 points on the season with two assists as the Winnipeg Jets won their third straight by defeating the host St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Thursday night at Enterprise Center.<\/p>\n
Alex Iafallo, Josh Morrissey and Jonathan Toews scored for the Jets (35-31-12, 82 points). Winnipeg\u2019s Connor Hellebuyck made 20 saves.<\/p>\n
Dylan Holloway for St. Louis (33-33-12, 78 points) had a goal and an assist. The Blues\u2019 Colton Parayko also scored, while Jordan Binnington made 31 stops.<\/p>\n
The win kept Winnipeg\u2019s faint playoff hopes alive in its push for the final Western Conference wild-card spot, while the loss all but guaranteed St. Louis will miss the postseason.<\/p>\n
The Blues opened the scoring with a no-look backhand pass from Robert Thomas that found Holloway\u2019s stick. He made a series of quick moves before finishing on the power play at the 4:56 mark of the first period, giving St. Louis an early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg evened the score at 1 at the 9:24 mark of the first when Scheifele delivered a backhand pass of his own from behind the net in the Jets\u2019 offensive zone, finding Iafallo, who batted the puck into the net.<\/p>\n
The Jets took a 2-1 lead with 5:49 remaining in the second period. A shot from high near the blue line by Jacob Bryson created a rebound that found its way onto Morrissey\u2019s stick, and he buried it to give Winnipeg the advantage.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg extended its lead to 3-1 just 1:40 later, when Cole Perfetti set up a one-timer for Toews, who wired a snapshot into the open cage.<\/p>\n
St. Louis got within one with 7:00 remaining in the third period. Parayko finished off a dish from Jordan Kyrou off the rush to cut the Jets lead to 3-2. That would remain the final score.<\/p>\n
