Jansen Harkins had a goal and an assist, and
Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored goals for Winnipeg
in Paul Maurice's 500th game as head coach for the Jets.
Colton Parayko and Carl Gunnarsson scored goals and Jordan
Binnington finished with 21 saves for St. Louis, which had its
11-game home point streak (10-0-1) snapped. It was just the
fifth regulation home loss of the season for the defending
Stanley Cup champs, who fell to 18-5-4 at the Enterprise Center.
The Jets, who handed the Blues a 5-2 loss on Saturday night in
Winnipeg, jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 7:55 of the first period
on Harkins' first career NHL goal, a shot from the dot in the
left circle that clanged off the near post, then off
Binnington's back and into the net.
Laine made it 2-0 early in the second period with his 20th goal
of the season, one-timing a Mark Scheifele pass from the left
circle at the end of an odd-man break.
But St. Louis tied it later in the period with two goals in a
span of 2:20. Parayko got the first one on a power play, roofing
a rebound of a Robert Thomas shot that bounced straight to him
off the left post for his fourth goal of the season. Gunnarsson
followed with his second goal of the season, a wrist shot from
just inside the blue line that deflected in off the stick of
Winnipeg's Blake Wheeler.
Copp then put the Jets back in front at the 9:04 mark of the
third period when he backhanded in a rebound of a Harkins shot
for his ninth goal of the season.
St. Louis pulled Binnington for an extra attacker with 1:10
left, and Ehlers sealed the win for the Jets with an
empty-netter with 10.2 to go, his 19th goal of the season.
