What a game. On a night where nothing came easy, the Winnipeg Jets did what they needed to do, earning a solid 3–1 win at home over the St. Louis Blues.

It wasn’t flashy, but it was steady. The Jets jumped out early and stayed composed when the game tightened up.

With the standings this close, wins like this matter. This one nudged the Jets ahead of the Blues and kept the playoff picture very much alive.

As we’re writing this, the Jets are gearing up to face the Florida Panthers, another tough test and another chance to build momentum.
