It was an absolute must-win game for the Winnipeg Jets against the Blues and they did in fact come away from St. Louis with a victory and two points. And given the recent history that was no small feat as, prior to tonight, the home team (including playoffs) had won 11 straight games as per Kelly Moore of 680 CJOB.
