3 Talking Points as the Winnipeg Jets Shutout the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0
1. Connor Hellebuyck Steals the Show and the Game
Yesterday evening was about as close to a vintage Connor Hellebuyck performance as you could get.
Hellebuyck kept Winnipeg in the game as they were outshot 22-4 in the opening period and the Jets hopes looked bleak, but the former Vezina Trophy Winner kept Vegas off of the scoreboard.
The second period started the same for the Jets as they were outplayed to start the frame but Hellebuyck frustrated the Golden Knights’ offense.
The Jets were able to capitalize on their opportunities and Hellebuyck stood strong the rest of the game en route to a shutout.
This game was a masterclass performance from the Jets’ netminder as he stopped all 42 shots he faced. This was also Hellebuyck’s fourth shutout of this regular season.
