Summary
Open Extended ReactionsWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was pulled from a second consecutive postseason game for the first time in his career Sunday, after giving up five goals to the St. Louis Blues in a 5-1 rout. St. Louis' victory tied this Western Conference first-round series at 2-2, with Game 5 on Wednesday in Winnipeg. Jets coach Scott Arniel tried not to fan the flames in his postgame media availability Sunday as he put his full weight behind Hellebuyck moving forward. Now that the series is shifting back to Winnipeg, the Blues plan to take what worked on Hellebuyck in their rink and apply it to the Jets' home ice. For Hellebuyck, Game 5 is a chance to start rewriting his own history.
