ST. LOUIS — Going into the post-season, the surging St. Louis Blues looked like the worst possible matchup for the Winnipeg Jets. In 15 career games against the Blues, home or away, Laine has 16 goals. “Not bad.”In eight trips to St. Louis, Laine has only been shut out once. For starters, he ran into St. Louis defenceman Alex Pietrangelo, helping the Jets keep possession, then snuck behind the Blues defence to knock Jacob Trouba’s pass out of mid-air. “He’s playing hard, he’s finishing his checks and he’s playing really good defensively right now,” Little said.
