Winnipeg Jets Travel to St. Louis to Face the Blues

The Winnipeg Jets will head to the Enterprise Center on Sunday evening to take on the St. Louis Blues in a Central Division matchup. This is the fourth and final regular-season matchup between these teams as Winnipeg has a 2-1 season series lead entering this game with a 4-1 road win over St. Louis back on January 29.

Looking at the standings, the Jets are sixth in the Central Division (25-22-10, 60 points) and are playing decent hockey as of late, while the Blues are second in the Central Division (32-17-7, 71 points) but are riding a four-game losing streak as of this writing.
