Winnipeg Jets Look to End Two-Game Skid as they Host St. Louis Blues
The Winnipeg Jets finish their short two-game homestand tonight as they host the St. Louis Blues at the Canada Life Centre. The game is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. central time.
Both the Jets and Blues were last in action on Saturday. The Jets started their homestand with a 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The St. Louis Blues had a different result on Saturday as they skated to a 2-0 win in their Saturday contest at Rogers Place against the Edmonton Oilers. Jordan Binnington stopped all 23 shots he faced en route to his first shutout of the season.

With Saturday’s win in Edmonton, the Oilers improved to a perfect 3-0-0 this season. They started their season with a 5-2 win at home against the Blue Jackets and then won their next two games on the road.
On the other hand, the Jets are currently on a two-game losing streak and have started this season with a 2-3-0 record.
This is the first of four matchups between Winnipeg and St. Louis this season. The next meeting between these teams will be in early December in St. Louis.
