Winnipeg native Joel Hofer shuts out Jets in St. Louis
Kasperi Kapanen, Nathan Walker and Jakub Vrana each scored to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 3-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
He didn’t get the shutout because he had to leave the ice for a skate repair in the second period. Thomas Greiss had a save while filling in.“I’m just obviously happy to be here and to get the win in front of the home crowd, it was great.” Hofer started in place of the suspended Jordan Binnington on Friday and had 33 saves in a 5-2 win against Washington – his first NHL game since Nov. 13, 2021.
“You want to win games,” Winnipeg’s Nikolaj Ehlers said. “It doesn’t mean you have to win them with six goals every night but you want to score enough to win games and we haven’t been doing that. So, we know what we need to do; it’s just a matter of going out there and doing it.” “We’re in eighth spot. You’d rather be in eighth spot than ninth,” coach Rick Bowness said. “Now it’s up to us to stay there and hopefully push up a little higher.”
