Head-to-Head
📊 Over the past three seasons, Winnipeg and St. Louis have clashed nine times in the regular season: the Jets have claimed victory in seven of those encounters, while the Blues have won twice.

Head-to-head statistics Winnipeg - St. Louis
Winnipeg Jets Team Overview
Scott Arniel's team recently snapped a two-game losing streak by defeating the season's top team, the Colorado Avalanche, with a 3-1 victory on home ice. This win lifted the Jets to 12th place in the Western Conference, narrowing their playoff gap to six points.
At home, Winnipeg have struggled to score more than three goals in four consecutive games, which aligns with their average scoring rate for the season (3.06 goals per game).
The Jets' injury list still includes defensemen Neal Pionk and Colin Miller, as well as forwards Nino Niederreiter and Vladislav Namestnikov. Against the Avalanche, Scott Arniel made no changes to the lineup, and after a loss to the Eastern Conference's bottom team, the New York Rangers (3-6), they managed to defeat the league's best team.
Match Results: Winnipeg Jets
St. Louis Blues Team Overview
Despite their dreadful losses before the Olympic break, the Blues have returned as a transformed team. St. Louis have won 7 out of their last 9 games and have picked up points in their last seven encounters. Following victories over the Carolina Hurricanes (3-1) and the Edmonton Oilers (3-2 OT), the Blues no longer appear to be hopeless underdogs, trailing the playoff spots by just six points.
Remarkably, from Christmas until the Olympic break, St. Louis lost ten consecutive road games (all in regulation time). However, since the season resumed, they have won all 5 of their away matches. While the team still ranks low in many metrics, their improvement is evident.
The injury list for St. Louis is clear. Tyler Tucker missed the last game, with Justin Holl stepping into the third defensive pair for only his second game of the season.

⚡️ Leaders
Winnipeg's top scorer is Mark Scheifele. With a pair of assists against the Oilers, he reached 81 points (30 goals, 51 assists) and climbed to sixth place in the league's scoring rankings. Both Scheifele and the Jets' second-leading scorer, Kyle Connor, have recorded points in 5 of their last 6 games.
St. Louis players have more modest numbers. Only Robert Thomas (16 goals, 28 assists) and Pavel Buchnevich (15 goals, 25 assists) have surpassed the 40-point mark this season. The Canadian has achieved a seven-game point streak since the break. Cam Fowler has registered points in all of his last 6 appearances, while Dylan Holloway has done so in 5 of 6.
🥅 Goalies
Connor Hellebuyck has played eight consecutive games for the Jets since the season resumed, with a save percentage exceeding 90% in 6 of those 8 matchups. Overall, the American netminder has managed a 90.5% save rate with a goals-against average (GAA) of 2.61 post-break.
The Blues do not have a clear first-choice goaltender. Jordan Binnington and Joel Hofer share the ice time. Binnington has allowed only five goals in three games since the season restart, boasting a save percentage of 94.4%. Hofer also maintains consistently high numbers, with a 94.8% save rate over six games and a GAA of 1.64.
Editor's Prediction
Jim Montgomery's team owes much of their success to the consistent performance of both goalkeepers. Since the break, St. Louis have conceded an average of just 1.67 goals per game, but their scoring isn't particularly high either, averaging only 2.89 goals per game. Considering that five or fewer goals have been scored in 5 of Winnipeg's last 6 home games and in 7 of St. Louis' last 8 games, a low-scoring outcome seems likely. Moreover, in 5 of the last 6 regular-season meetings between the Jets and Blues, this bet has hit - total under 5.5 goals in the match.
