Broberg scores third-period game winner, Blues top Jets 2-1

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Philip Broberg scored the game winner on a power play at 8:47 of the third period in the St. Louis Blues’ 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

Robert Thomas set up Broberg’s slapper from the middle of the ice above the faceoff circles. Thomas has 332 career assists, one short of matching Brian Sutter for fourth on the Blues’ list.

Broberg also assisted on Jimmy Snuggerud’s first-period goal, and goalie Joel Hofer stopped 32 shots as the Blues opened a five-game homestand. Snuggerud has five goals this season.

St. Louis snapped a two-game losing streak to improve to 4-4-1.

Cole Perfetti scored 32 seconds into the third period for Winnipeg (4-3-2) for his sixth of the season. Jets goalie Stuart Skinner made 27 saves.
