The set-up: The St. Louis Blues are 19-7-2 since Mike Yeo took over as coach and Sunday's 4-1 victory over Nashville gives the Blues a 43-28-7 record, overall. They have earned at least one point in nine consecutive games entering Tuesday's home contest against the Winnipeg Jets, and are currently the Central Division's third-place team, with a two-point lead over the Nashville Predators. While the Blues have already secured a playoff spot, the 37-35-7 Winnipeg Jets entered this final week of the regular season having already been eliminated from the playoffs for the fifth time in the last six years. That will allow them to look at some of their young players in their remaining games. Winnipeg: The Jets recalled their top two prospects, Jack Roslovic and Kyle Connor, from the minor leagues on Monday and coach Paul Maurice said the two 20-year-old forwards will be in the lineup for some of the remaining three games. Mathieu Perreault scored the go-ahead goal in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Ottawa and has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in his past nine contests. He has at least one point in 31 of his past 36 games. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has won three of his past five starts as the second-year net-minder settled down in stopping 49-of-54 shots in victories over New Jersey and Ottawa last week. A four-game winning streak has pushed Winnipeg over .500 for the first time since Nov. 17. St. Louis, Yes, the Blues have clinched a playoff spot, but that has not altered the motivation for the St. Louis Blues for the final week of the regular season. "We need to crunch down and play the way we want to play" Blues center Alexander Steen told reporters after scoring the tie-breaking goal in the second period on Sunday. St. Louis has at least one point in 14 of its past 15 games (12-1-2) and plays its final four games against teams out of or nearly eliminated from playoff contention. Goaltender Jake Allen, who was at one point this season for inconsistent play, made 35 saves Sunday and is 9-1-2 in his past 12 outings. The pick: The Jets may be out of the playoffs but they are 7-2 their last nine (including four straight wins), while the Blues are red-hot at 12-1-2 their last 15. Both goaltenders o are on top of their games and the Under is a 10*play.
