Status report
The Blues are expected to dress the same lineup from their 5-4 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. … St. Louis recalled Dvorsky, a forward, from the Springfield of the American Hockey League on Sunday. … Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said Ehlers is a game-time decision because of a lower-body injury; Ehlers was also a game-time decision and did not play in a 4-1 loss at the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday after he left a 4-0 win at the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. Ehlers took pucks off his foot and the inside of his leg on separate plays. … Arniel also said Pionk, a defenseman who has missed 11 games, is nearing a return, and Vilardi a forward who’s missed six games, is close to resuming skating. … Kupari, a forward, skated on his own Monday.

Fly isn't out there for the warm up.

I don't see Miller either.

Yeah, I saw that too…. Had me been sick?  I don’t recall hearing anything.  RIP.

Not to hijack the thread but usually the words "sudden" means heart attack...or stroke...

Can one of the mods merge the two threads. Please and thank you.

Barron opens the scoring.   Good guys up 1.

It's a very tight checking game. 

Unfortunately the first line is puckwatching and it ends up in the back of the net.  And now a weak ass call to give the blues a power play

[SpeedFlex27]

That's how I wanna go when it's my time. Here one minute & gone the next. RIP Greg Millen.

Yup, absolutely terrible call.  Especially considering the stuff they’ve ignored so far.

About 10 seconds before Barron scored I said he should be moved up and Nino dropped down.  Nino just looks off…. Sluggish and sloppy.

What the hell is wrong with these refs?  They make ticky tack calls, at best, then Tanev gets drilled from behind and nothing??

Now we get a high sticking call (legit) when they ignored 2 against us earlier.  No consistency whatsoever.

What a blue collar goal.by the top line.

Apples just unable to ice it.  Then Bucky with a huge save.  26 secs boys.   Close it out!

[iHeart]

boy did we need that after that loss to Utah

[BomberBall.]

Big, gritty win.  Well done boys.

I swear Millen did a game on Saturday. RIP. 
 

Jets when on appear to be impossible to beat 4 out of 7 times. They were on. Watched parts on the daughter’s tablet. 15 shots for St Louis is wild. 

Edited April 8 by Goalie

[Goalie]

Jets set franchise record in a season with 53 wins. 

Another interesting stat 

 

The Jets have held their opponent to under 30 shots in 36 of the past 39 games, including 17 consecutive games. The mark surpasses their season long of 16 games and is also the longest stretch in the league this season.

Notice how he paused when praising Helly?  He was wanting to say he’s the best in the world, but probably thought his guy would have a hissy fit, so he switched gears and said he’s going to win the Vezina.
