Connor Hellebuyck, the Winnipeg Jets' goaltender and 2023 Vezina Trophy finalist, remains confident as he heads into Game 5 against the St. Louis Blues. Despite being pulled in the last two playoff games, Hellebuyck asserts that his performance will improve, citing his extensive study of goaltending. Winnipeg leads the series 2-2, with their recent losses marked by defensive lapses, prompting teammates to emphasize the need for better support in front of Hellebuyck.

Hellebuyck's statistics show a .817 save percentage and a 4.24 goals-against average in the series, indicating a need for adjustment. Coach Scott Arniel highlights the importance of goaltending in a playoff series, reflecting on how the first two games showcased Winnipeg's superiority in key performance areas. As the Jets aim to regain their momentum, they look forward to reintroducing key players like Gabriel Vilardi, who could make a comeback after injury.
