Backup goalie Carter Hutton made 48 saves, setting a Blues record for saves in a shutout, but starter Jake Allen is expected to play in Winnipeg. Allen is 0-2-0 in his past two starts after going 4-0-0 with six goals against and one shutout in his previous four.
The Jets have lost back-to-back games and are 1-4-1 in their past six. Connor Hellebuyck, who has lost three of his past four starts, is expected to play after Steve Mason made 28 saves on Saturday.

They said it

"Certainly, you'd think if you throw (48 shots) again, you'd be on the right side of it, but nothing's guaranteed," -- Jets forward Blake Wheeler
"Would like to see a little more zone time, would like to see a little bit more puck possession time because when a team like that has the puck, as well as you want to defend, their going to get some shots, they're going to get some opportunities." -- Blues coach Mike Yeo
