Philip Broberg blasted a power play slapper at 8:47 in the third period, snapping a tie and sealing a 2-1 victory for the St. Louis Blues over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. This wasn’t just any goal, either; it was the game-winner, set up by Robert Thomas from the middle of the ice above the faceoff circles. That assist puts Thomas at 332 career assists, just one shy of matching Brian Sutter for fourth on the Blues’ all-time list. Talk about a veteran making an impact!
Broberg’s Big Night and Snuggerud’s Scoring Touch
Broberg wasn’t done after just the game-winning helper. He also assisted on Jimmy Snuggerud’s first-period goal. That’s five goals on the season for Snuggerud already, showing he’s got that scoring touch early on. The Jets did manage to tie it up thanks to Cole Perfetti, but that was all they could muster against a Blues team that clearly wanted this one.
Hofer Stands Tall as Blues Snap Skid
Joel Hofer was an absolute wall in net for the Blues, stopping a massive 32 shots. That kind of performance is exactly what you need when you’re trying to turn things around. With this 2-1 win, St. Louis snapped a two-game losing streak, pushing their record to 4-4-1. They just kicked off a five-game homestand too. If they can keep this energy going, especially with Broberg making plays on both ends, things could really start looking up for them in their own barn.
