ST. LOUIS — The Blues might as well be an expiration date, because they’re spoiling things.
Two days after beating playoff hopeful Washington, the Blues handed Western Conference bubble team Winnipeg a 3-0 loss at Enterprise Center on Sunday night. The Blues have won consecutive games for the second time in the last 10 days after losing eight of nine games following the Ryan O’Reilly trade.
Joel Hofer made 33 saves in his second start in place of the suspended Jordan Binnington to earn his second win of the season. Kasperi Kapanen (one goal, one assist) had his first multi-point game as a Blue, and Nathan Walker and Jakub Vrana also scored goals for St. Louis.
