Jets Comeback to Beat Blues in Shootout; Stuart, Trouba Injured

It looked like yet another lazy output for the Winnipeg Jets early on, but by the end of the second period they found their legs-and the net-to come from two down in the third period to defeat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 in a shootout.

Ondrej Pavelec was beaten by the first two St. Louis shooters in the shootout, but stopped the next five to ensure Olli Jokinen's top-corner wrist-shot on Brian Elliot stood up as the winner.

During the game, both center Mark Stuart and defenceman Jacob Trouba were injured, with Trouba taken off the ice on a stretcher after awkwardly going into the boards head-first.
