Connor Hellebuyck has 29-save shutout as Winnipeg Jets blank St. Louis Blues 3-0
WINNIPEG — Connor Hellebuyck knows his Winnipeg Jets don’t have much room for error. So he made no mistakes on Friday night.
Hellebuyck stopped all 29 shots he faced as the Jets shut out the St. Louis Blues 3-0 for a crucial win in the NHL’s Western Conference post-season chase.
“It’s huge. It’s a four-point game and we’re kind of chasing them right now,” said Hellebuyck. “We do want to make the playoffs, and that’s our goal here so this is another good step in the right direction.”
The Jets’ (29-30-6) victory moves them to within three points of the Blues (31-27-5), and four points of the Los Angeles Kings who hold the final wild-card spot in the West.
