For the second straight game, Connor Hellebuyck stood on his head to backstop the Jets to a 4-2 NHL victory over the St. Blues on Tuesday night.
Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 20 shots, including two clearcut breakaways, for Winnipeg at Canada Life Centre.
Connor had given the Jets a 3-1 lead early in the third period. Defenceman Nate Schmidt kept the puck in along the boards, then fed Connor, who deked around a defenceman, then fired a shot over Binnington’s shoulder. The Jets had opened the scoring with a pair of goals just 18 seconds apart early in the second period. Gustafsson unleashed a one-timer past Binnington on a set from forward Cole Perfetti from behind the net. Defenceman Dylan DeMelo also assisted.
