Connor Hellebuyck dominated this year’s regular-season NHL goaltending.

For goals-against average (2.01), he finished first. His efficiency average of .925 was good for second in the entire NHL. He also won a lot: 47 victories.

In short, he’ll be the one to win the Vézina. It’s a good thing the race for the best goalie trophy doesn’t continue into the playoffs, because the American wouldn’t win it.

He’s not having a good series. Today, for the second match in a row, he was thrown out of the game.

The Blues thwarted him five times and tied the series at two.

Things are so bad for the Iceman that people are starting to wonder whether his reserve Eric Comrie should start game five in Winnipeg.

In two games in relief of his teammate, Comrie has stopped eight of nine shots.

I’d like to go a step further and show you the following statistics.

In his last 13 playoff games, Hellebuyck has a goals-against average of 4.50 and an efficiency average of .860. During this slump, he helped his team win only three times. Two of those times were earlier in the series against the Blues.

Is the Jets goaltender the Maple Leafs in front of the net? He’s a monster in the regular season, but during the spring tournament, he disguises himself as a Swiss cheese…

Of all the goalkeepers to have played a playoff game in 2025, he ranks last for saves made above expectations.

He’s minus-7 (!).

Is he overtaxed on the season or just not focused enough after Game 82.

Jets fans should start worrying…
