Key Storylines
Recent form
The Jets have struggled lately, dropping four of their last five games and arriving in St. Louis with a 15-15-2 record. Their most recent outing saw them take an overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators that highlighted their defensive struggles and inconsistencies on special teams. Winnipeg’s offense can be explosive but has been up and down in recent matchups, which they will look to fix here.
The Blues enter this contest with three losses over their last four games. They may not be in a position to take advantage of the struggles surrounding the Jets at this point in time. Defense has been a huge issue for St. Louis, as they have allowed five goals or more in three of their last four outings.
Goaltending
Goalies often determine close NHL games, and this one is no different. Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck returned recently from injury and remains a stabilizing presence in net with a strong track record. His performance will be central to the Jets’ chances even as he works his way back from injury. For the Blues, their goaltending has been disappointing this year. Both of their goaltenders have GAAs over 3.00 for the season.
Key skaters
Offensively, Winnipeg relies heavily on Kyle Connor, who leads the Jets in points and plays a pivotal role in creating chances on every line he works with. Mark Scheifele and Gabriel Vilardi add reliable scoring, but consistency remains a question mark for the rest of the group of late. St. Louis is sorely lacking in the scoring department, without a double-digit goal scorer on the year. Dylan Holloway leads the team with eight goals.
