St. Louis Blues defenseman Barret Jackman floated the puck towards the net from center ice that snuck past Winnipeg Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec for a surprise game-winning goal during the final moments of Tuesday night's game at the Scottrade Center.
It came shortly after a faceoff with 1:03 remaining in the third period as Pavelec apparently couldn't find puck, and Jackman's floater went past his glove.
Pavelec came into the game relieving starting goaltender Michael Hutchinson, who gave up four Blues goals on only 7 shots. With Pavelec in the net, the Jets rallied from a 4-1 deficit to tie the game. However, the late goal by Jackman allowed the Blues to come away with the 5-4 victory.
