Jacob Trouba's bad-bounce goal was a big break for the Winnipeg Jets. Trouba scored in the third on an unusual play, and the Jets beat the St. Louis Blues 5-3 Tuesday night. Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler each had a goal and two assists as Winnipeg improved to 12-4-1 within the Central Division and 3-0 against St. Louis. Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored, and Ondrej Pavelec made 24 saves. Alexander Steen, Vladimir Tarasenko and Alex Pietrangelo scored for the Blues, who lost their fourth straight on home ice. Jake Allen made 19 saves. Winnipeg opened a 4-2 lead on Trouba's fourth of the season 3:33 into the third. Trouba initially fanned on the shot but the puck went off of Pietrangelo's skate and into the net. Steen put St. Louis in front just 3:37 into the game on a shot from the point. Scheifele tied it with 30 seconds left in the first on a give-and-go with Wheeler, and Laine gave the Jets a 2-1 lead 22 seconds into the second period. After Ehlers scored just seven seconds into Winnipeg's first power play, Tarasenko responded for the Blues with 52 seconds remaining in the second.
