ST. LOUIS, Mo. (AP) --- Alex Iafallo, Josh Morrissey and Jonathan Toews scored
as the Winnipeg Jets beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 Thursday night, keeping their
playoff hopes alive.
Mark Scheifele had two assists and Connor Hellebuyck made 20 saves for Winnipeg
(35-31-12), which has 82 points. The Jets went into the game four points behind
Nashville (84 points) for the second Western Conference wild card.
Dylan Holloway and Colton Parayko scored for St. Louis (33-33-12) and Jordan
Binnington had 31 saves. The Blues, who have 78 points, took a hit to their
playoff hopes with four games remaining in the regular season.
Morrissey slammed home the rebound of a shot by Jacob Bryson to give the Jets
their first lead of the game with 5:49 left in the second period and Toews made
it 3-1 just 1:40 later.
Robert Thomas flicked a pass backward between his legs to Holloway for a goal
from the right circle that opened the scoring at the 4:56 mark of the first
period. Thomas has 325 assists for the Blues, tied with Al MacInnis for
fifth-most in franchise history.
Iafollo poked home a feed from Scheifele from point-blank range near the midway
point in the first period.
Parayko, on a breakaway, beat Hellebuyck to the glove side to cap the scoring
with seven minutes left in the third period.
