    • Can't shake skid Tuesday
      Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

      Advice: The Avalanche took over in the third period, leaving Hellebuyck with a fourth straight loss to end the Jets' playoff run after one round. The 30-year-old gave up 24 goals in five appearances in the playoffs, a dramatically worse performance than he showed with a 2.39 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 60 regular-season games. Hellebuyck was announced as a Vezina Trophy finalist this week for his regular-season work, but he'll likely want to forget the postseason quickly in preparation for 2024-25.

    • Gets starting nod
      Hellebuyck will guard the home crease against Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

      Advice: Hellebuyck has lost three straight games, so he and the Jets will be facing elimination Tuesday. He's recorded a sub-par .870 save percentage and has allowed 13 goals in that span. Hellebuyck has yet to log a save percentage above .872 in any of the first four games of the series -- he'll likely need to be better in Game 5 in order for Winnipeg to have a chance to force Game 6.

    • Three consecutive losses
      Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 loss to the Avalanche. He was pulled after the second period.

      Advice: Two of the four goals against Hellebuyck came on the power play. He was relieved of his duties after the second frame Sunday for backup Laurent Brossoit. Hellebuyck has now allowed 19 goals on 131 shots in the first-round series, which the Jets trail 3-1. In order for the Jets to make a comeback in the series, they need Hellebuyck to get back to his Vezina-caliber ways. Winnipeg will host Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday.

    • Guarding goal in Game 4
      Hellebuyck will guard the road goal in Game 4 versus Colorado on Sunday, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

      Advice: Hellebuyck has surrendered 15 goals on 116 shots for an .871 save percentage in three playoff outings versus the Avalanche. He has lost his last two starts after winning the series opener. The Jets need a victory in Sunday's contest to take home-ice advantage back ahead of Tuesday's Game 5.

    • Falters again in Game 3
      Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 39 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Hellebuyck has now surrendered 15 goals on 116 shots over the last three games. The 30-year-old will likely need to get his game back to his regular-season form soon in order for the Jets to have a chance to fend off the Avalanche, who now lead the series 2-1. There's little reason to think Hellebuyck won't get the chance to play out of his slump, so expect him between the pipes for Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:53 pm
       
    • Between pipes Friday
      Hellebuyck will defend the road crease in Colorado for Game 3 on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

      Advice: Hellebuyck struggled in the opening two games of the series, allowing 10 goals on 77 shots. Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado snapped Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak. He was 37-19-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 60 regular-season appearances. The Avalanche have had no problem finding the back of the net thus far, they'll hope to continue that trend as the series shifts to Colorado for Games 3 and 4. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:38 am
       
    • Loses Game 2
      Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

      Advice: Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak came to an end Tuesday, resulting in the Jets' first-round playoff series being tied at 1-1 with Games 3 and 4 ahead in Denver on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The 30-year-old has allowed 10 goals on 77 shots so far against the Avalanche, so he'll need to tighten things up on the road to keep the Jets competitive. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Back in NHL
      Raanta was promoted from AHL Chicago on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

      Advice: The Hurricanes already have three goalies on the roster, so Raanta's chances of playing in the postseason are incredibly low. Raanta struggled in 24 games with the Hurricanes this campaign, and he was a touch worse with a 2-2-4 record, a 3.54 GAA and an .873 save percentage in eight contests with the Wolves after he was sent down.

    • Set to start Tuesday
      Hellebucyk is slated to be between the home pipes for Game 2 against the Avalanche on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

      Advice: Hellebuyck is riding a six-game winning streak, which includes a crucial victory in the series opener despite giving up six goals on 46 shots (.870 save percentage). Considering the 30-year-old goalie is the heavy favorite to take home the Vezina Trophy as the league's top netminder, there is little chance of him being dropped from the starting role as long as the Jets are in the playoffs.
