WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Paul Stastny got his 500th career assist Sunday, and that wasn’t even the highlight of the day for the former Blue. The 35-year-old Stastny, who played 267 games over four seasons for St. Louis, scored two goals to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 4-2 victory over the Blues at Canada Life Centre.
The Blues’ seven game point streak (5-0-2) is over as the team heads back to St. Louis at 17-9-5 overall. Back to St. Louis because their road games with Ottawa (Tuesday) and Toronto (Thursday) have been postponed due to COVID concerns.
For the third game in a row, the Blues were involved in a scoreless first period. There was plenty of action, however, including a mini-breakaway by Vladimir Tarasenko that was stopped by Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck with about eight minutes left in period.
