Twice the Jets held leads in the game, including a 3-1 advantage late into the second period, but were stunned with a two-goal jump by the Blues in the third and final period. Indeed, goals from Mark Scheifele, Chris Thorburn and Drew Stafford were answered with markers from Troy Brouwer, Alex Steen, Vladimir Tarasenko, who evened the game, 3-3, just 51 seconds into the third. That tie would eventually be broken at the 16:22 mark of the third period with a goal from Paul Stastny.

With the loss the Jets fall below .500 with a record of 14-15-2 and have now lost two straight, including a 2-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Friday. The Blues improve to 18-10-4 with the win.

Connor Hellebuyck, who made his sixth career start and third consecutive, made 22 saves in the loss to improve to 4-2-0 on the year. Jake Allen recorded 33 saves to earn his 14th win of the year.

The Jets will now have two days off before they welcome the New York Rangers to town in a battle at the MTS Centre Friday night.
