Saint-Louis Mississouri - This was the third meeting between the Winnipeg Jets and the Blue Machine this season. Winnipeg is one of the top roster of the league and it is difficult for the Blues to compete with that kind of team, Blues were ready for the game. The Blue machine made some changed to their roster, Winnipeg could not score on veteran Marty Turco so they could not win this game. Blues lost the first game 7-2 lost again in the second game 5-3 but they won this one 4-1 even without Pekka Rinne and Pavel Bury

The Winnipeg Jets was over the defence all night long so Marty Turco had to be great, Winnipeg thirty two shots Turco stopped thirty one of them for a saving percentage of .969 he was awesome and won the game. Winnipeg where too much for the Blues but not for Turco, we only had nineteen shots and Craig Anderson stopped fifteen of them for a saving percentage of .789 that was a bad game for him.
