Jets Beat Blues To Get On Board in NHL Playoffs

Kyle Connor scored twice, Patrik Laine had a goal and an assist, and the Jets beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 on Sunday night to climb back into their first-round playoff series.

 

Winnipeg dropped the first two games at home.

 

Kevin Hayes, Brandon Tanev and Dustin Byfuglien also scored for Winnipeg, and Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves.

 

David Perron, Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Steen scored for the Blues, and Jordan Binnington made 23 stops.

 

Perron put St. Louis in front with a power-play goal late in the first period. He whipped a shot past Hellebuyck from the slot.

 

But the Jets grabbed the lead for good when they scored three times in a span of 4:01 in the second.

 

Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in St. Louis.
