Playoff hiccup or not, Jets' Hellebuyck one step closer to MVP trophy The “M-V-P” chants for Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck are one step closer to becoming reality: he's a finalist for the Hart Trophy.
Gets back in win column Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 19 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.
Impact It was far from a dominant performance for the 31-year-old, but the Jets' offense took care of business on home ice. Hellebuyck has allowed at least three goals in four of his five playoff outings this year, despite facing no more than 25 shots in any appearance, though he was pulled from the previous two games. The Jets lead this series 3-2 after Wednesday's win, and if Hellebuyck can overcome his road woes, he can send his team to the second round with a win in Friday's Game 6.

Set to face St. Louis in Game 5 Hellebuyck is expected to start at home against St. Louis in Game 5 on Wednesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Impact Hellebuyck was incredible during the regular season, posting a 47-12-3 record, 2.00 GAA and .925 save percentage across 63 appearances. However, he's allowed a staggering 11 goals on 43 shots (.744 save percentage) across his past two starts, which has allowed St. Louis to even the first-round series at 2-2. Hellebuyck surrendered five or more goals on just three occasions during the regular season, so for him to have back-to-back losses of that caliber in the playoffs is quite a departure. This is becoming a theme for Hellebuyck, though -- he has a 4.27 GAA and an .863 save percentage across 14 playoff starts over the last three years despite being one of the league's best regular-season goaltenders over the same span.

Pulled from second straight game Hellebuyck surrendered five goals on 18 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Blues in Game 4.
Impact The Blues put up three goals over a span of 8:08 in the second half of the second period to take control of the game. Hellebuyck came out for the third but was pulled after Robert Thomas scored early in that frame. This was Hellebuyck's second straight early exit from a game, and he's now allowed 15 goals over four first-round contests. He's not facing a particularly heavy workload, but the Blues have been opportunistic. Even with these struggles, it seems unlikely the Jets will turn away from Hellebuyck in favor of Eric Comrie for Wednesday's Game 5 on home ice -- after Game 4, head coach Scott Arniel expressed full confidence in Hellebuyck, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.
