Jordan Kyrou scored for St. Louis. Joel Hofer stopped 13 of 15
shots for St. Louis (19-23-8), which lost its second straight
and for the fifth time in seven games.
The Jets took advantage of a four-minute high-sticking penalty
to the Blues’ Nathan Walker, who clipped Winnipeg defenseman
Isaak Phillips, scoring twice in a 1:33 span midway through the
first period.
First, Morrissey beat Hofer on a slap shot from the blue line
with Scheifele and Kyle Connor assisting at 9:52. Then,
Scheifele lifted the puck over Hofer from close range, with
Morrissey getting the assist, at 11:25.
The Blues had pulled to within 2-1 late in the second. With
Vladislav Namestnikov serving a four-minute minor for
high-sticking Jonathan Berggren, Kyrou scored past Comrie.
Scheifele put the game away with an empty-net goal with 2:23
left.
Nino Niederreiter saved a goal with about six minutes left in
the first. After a shot by Cam Fowler trickled through Comrie,
Niederreiter swept the puck off the goal line.
