In Winnipeg, the Jets broke out of a funk on Monday night with four straight goals in the third period, after falling behind, 2-0, for a 4-2 win over the St Louis Blues. 
“We had the lead, we shouldn’t obviously feel that way (in trouble) ever,” Blues defenseman Colton Parayko said. “I think they just got some goals off good opportunities at good times, and it’s just what happened.”
Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves in the Winnipeg win.
The victory ended a sluggish three-game skid for the Jets.
The Jets improved to 32-19-1.
The Blue took a 1-0 lead in the middle frame on a power play marker from Jake Neighbours at 14:36.
“I saw Torey sitting back there with the puck,” Neighbours said. “He’s so deceptive and always looking to stretch someone out, so I just tried to sneak in there behind the ‘D,’ and I just caught a good bounce.”
St Louis dropped to 23-25-5.
Nikita Alexandrov scored 2:02 into the third period to give the Blues a 2-0 advantage.
St Louis has lost five straight.
“We didn’t manage things in the third good enough,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. “We’ve got the lead 2-0 and got caught in on a play off of a face-off, which we shouldn’t be. We should have pulled out quicker. We didn’t, they scored. The second goal, we got the puck and we turned it over and they made a good play. Third goal is a lucky goal, goes off our guy. Just a couple plays.”
Josh Morrissey hit his first of a pair of goals in the third, just 40 seconds after the Blues took the 2+0 lead, he put shot just over Jordan Binnington’s left  to get the Jets within one at 2-1.pad
“Josh played fantastic tonight,” Scheifele said. “He always does, and he got rewarded. A few big goals by him, and he led us tonight.”
Winnipeg tied it, 2-2 on Mark Scheifele‘s first of his double in the frame, the goal came after a series of low passes that tied up Binnington.
“I think we needed that,” Scheifele said. “I think we needed to see that we could go after a team, really put it to them. It wasn’t like every shift we were dominating in the O-zone, but we got on the forecheck. … That was our hockey. Every guy was battling, every guy was doing the right thing, and even when we got the lead, we kept doing the same thing. We got it in deep, we got O-zone time, we made plays, we made passes, and that was huge.”
Morrissey’s double was a deflection of the Blues’ Brayden Schenn shin guard and into the then net for a 3-2 lead.
“To score 40 seconds after [the Blues] got that second goal just turned the whole game around in our favor,” Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness said. “That was a [heck] of a shot and a great rush. He’d been playing that way the whole game. Sometimes you step up and be the difference-maker, and he was tonight.”
Scheifele’s second of the period was an empty-net strike with 24 seconds left in the game for the 4-2 final.
“Our kill was really good, and we got a power-play goal there,” Berube said. “… Kind of hanging in there with a pretty depleted lineup, you know. You’ve got to manage things, and we just didn’t manage it good enough.”

Binnington made 34 saves in the St Louis loss.
“Night in and night out, [Binnington is] making big saves for us,” Neighbours said. “He’s such a huge piece for us back there, but we’ve just got to do a little bit more to help him out.”
The Jets had 31 shots through the second period, and nothing to show for it.
