The Winnipeg Jets endured a challenging defeat against the St. Louis Blues, where goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was replaced after conceding five goals. Coach Scott Arniel defended Hellebuyck, stating the team's defensive failures were to blame for their implosion rather than the goalie himself. Hellebuyck, a Vezina Trophy winner, has struggled in recent playoff appearances, boasting a disappointing record in the postseasons. With confidence in their team, the Jets look to regroup for a decisive Game 7, emphasizing the need for a complete team performance despite their goaltending woes.
Hellebuyck's recent performances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs have been disappointing; he has a 5-11 record with an .860 save percentage over the past three postseasons.
Scott Arniel emphasized that the team's struggles were not solely on Hellebuyck, stating, 'Tonight was not about Connor. Tonight, we imploded in front of him.'
