Late in the third period, after the Jets pulled Comrie for the extra attacker, Vilardi tipped a Kyle Connor shot from the point after Cole Perfetti collected a puck in the corner and sailed to the blue line. Connor avoided Blues forward Radek Faksa in getting the shot toward the net, allowing Vilardi to deflect it past Hofer.
Once again, Eric Comrie delivered in a shootout win over the Blues on Saturday. Given what we’ve seen from the backup goalie, there’s no reason the Jets shouldn’t be comfortable giving him more time in net.
