Connor Hellebuyck makes 42 saves; Jets beat Predators to snap five-game skid
WINNIPEG — It was the kind of rebound game Connor Hellebuyck and his teammates needed.
The Jets goaltender made a season-high 42 saves Sunday afternoon as Winnipeg ended a five-game losing skid with a 3-0 victory over the Nashville Predators.
Hellebuyck’s second shutout of the season, and fourth of his career, came after he was in net Friday for Winnipeg’s 5-1 loss to the Predators in Nashville.
“I think it’s extremely important,” Hellebuyck said of having a big game. “It gets the morale and character back in the room and we can start building some confidence now. I don’t think anybody is hitting the panic button. We just needed to get back to our game and that’s what we did tonight.”
