Note:  The Jets played a solid game last night in St. Louis but couldn’t solve Carter Hutton who was excellent in the net as he led the Blues to a 2-0 win.  The team returned home and will finish off this home and home against the Blues with puck drop at 5 pm.

Note II:  The Moose continue to roll winning their second game of this three games in three days yesterday afternoon when they beat the 1st place in the East Toronto Marlies.  The re-match goes in Toronto today at 3 pm.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets cannot solve HuttonSometimes you run into a hot goalie and that’s just what happened to Winnipeg yesterday.

Winnipeg Sun:  Five keys to Jets vs Blues Round 2.  Ken’s big matchup is Connor Hellebuyck vs Jake Allen. His five keys include: 1) Home cooking. 2) Ehlers back on track. 3) Short rest. 4) Welcome back. 5) The local lad.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Winnipeg leaves St. Louis empty-handed.  (Paywall).  No time to dwell on this loss and considering they played well enough to win the contest.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch:  Hutton comes up big 48 times in a row Read about the game from the perspective of a beat writer who covers the Blues.

Sportsnet:  Shawn Matthias being made available for a tradeNot sure what sort of value he has considering how little he has been used this season.
