Connor Hellebuyck is looking to put his playoff struggles behind him as the Winnipeg Jets prepare for a pivotal Game 5 against the St. Louis Blues. Winnipeg dropped Games 3 and 4 in St. Louis by scores of 7-2 and 5-1, allowing the eighth-seeded Blues to even the first-round series at 2-2.

Connor Hellebuyck needs to turn it around if the Jets are going to hold off the Blues in the first round of the playoffs.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is a step closer to repeating as NHL goaltender of the year. The league announced its three finalists for this season's Vezina Trophy on Monday. Darcy Kuemper of the Los Angeles Kings and Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning are the others.

St. Louis lost the first two games of the series on the road, then exploded on Thursday night for a 7-2 victory. Another home ice win on Sunday afternoon, April 27, would deadlock this series.

The Winnipeg Jets will face the St. Louis Blues in Game 4 of this NHL Playoff matchup on Sunday at the Enterprise Center.

Brayden Schenn, Tyler Tucker and Justin Faulk each scored second period goals to help the St. Louis Blues beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 on Sunday to tie their playoff series at 2-all.
