Connor Hellebuyck, the Winnipeg Jets' goaltender, remains confident despite being pulled during the last two playoff games. As a Vezina Trophy finalist, he emphasizes his readiness for Game 5 against the St. Louis Blues, stating, 'Win the next one' is the priority. Hellebuyck aims to regain form after a challenging series, where he has a save percentage of .817. Jets head coach Scott Arniel noted that the recent goaltending performance has swung in favor of the Blues.

Backup Eric Comrie filled in for Hellebuyck and performed admirably, but the Jets' defense must improve, particularly regarding shot-blocking and providing better support. Hellebuyck, a two-time Vezina winner, is determined to focus on what worked during the regular season, where he recorded career-best stats. With Gabriel Vilardi potentially returning from injury, the Jets look to regain momentum in the series.
