Justin Faulk scored the lone goal off a key turnover while Joel Hofer made 24 saves for his third shutout this season, securing a 1-0 win for the Blues.
- On Wednesday night in St. Louis, the St. Louis Blues beat the Winnipeg Jets 1-0 as Justin Faulk scored and Joel Hofer made 24 saves to preserve the shutout.
- The scoring sequence started when Connor Hellebuyck left a dump-in for Dylan DeMelo, who lost the puck after a Pavel Buchnevich forecheck and Robert Thomas fed Justin Faulk.

- The loss deepens Winnipeg Jets' slide as they have lost five of their last six games and hold a 2-12-1 record when allowing the first goal, worsening their season outlook.
