Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 19 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

It was far from a dominant performance for the 31-year-old, but the Jets' offense took care of business on home ice. Hellebuyck has allowed at least three goals in four of his five playoff outings this year, despite facing no more than 25 shots in any appearance, though he was pulled from the previous two games. The Jets lead this series 3-2 after Wednesday's win, and if Hellebuyck can overcome his road woes, he can send his team to the second round with a win in Friday's Game 6.

Hellebuyck is expected to start at home against St. Louis in Game 5 on Wednesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was incredible during the regular season, posting a 47-12-3 record, 2.00 GAA and .925 save percentage across 63 appearances. However, he's allowed a staggering 11 goals on 43 shots (.744 save percentage) across his past two starts, which has allowed St. Louis to even the first-round series at 2-2. Hellebuyck surrendered five or more goals on just three occasions during the regular season, so for him to have back-to-back losses of that caliber in the playoffs is quite a departure. This is becoming a theme for Hellebuyck, though -- he has a 4.27 GAA and an .863 save percentage across 14 playoff starts over the last three years despite being one of the league's best regular-season goaltenders over the same span.

Hellebuyck surrendered five goals on 18 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Blues in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues put up three goals over a span of 8:08 in the second half of the second period to take control of the game. Hellebuyck came out for the third but was pulled after Robert Thomas scored early in that frame. This was Hellebuyck's second straight early exit from a game, and he's now allowed 15 goals over four first-round contests. He isn't facing a particularly heavy workload, but the Blues have been opportunistic. Even with these struggles, the Jets are unlikely to turn away from Hellebuyck in favor of Eric Comrie for Wednesday's Game 5 on home ice. Head coach Scott Arniel expressed full confidence in Hellebuyck following Sunday's loss, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

Hellebuyck will guard the road net Sunday against the Blues in Game 4, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was shaky in Game 3, allowing six goals on 25 shots in a loss. He'll try to bounce back in Game 4, with the Jets looking to take a 3-1 series lead back to Winnipeg.

Hellebuyck stopped 19 of 25 shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blues in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was pulled midway through the third period after allowing the sixth goal to Alexei Toropchenko. This outing ended Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak. He's had middling performances in the playoffs so far, allowing 10 goals on 64 shots over three games. He'll look to get back on track in Sunday's Game 4 on the road.

Hellebuyck will start Thursday's Game 3 on the road versus the Blues, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has allowed four goals on 39 shots over the first two games of the series. He's won six consecutive contests dating back to an April 7 win over the Blues in the regular season. Hellebuyck will continue to be the backbone of the Jets' lineup, and he should give them a chance to be competitive every game.

Hellebuyck made 21 saves in Monday's 2-1 win over the Blues in Game 2 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The only puck to get past Hellebuyck came on a St. Louis power play late in the first period. The 31-year-old netminder is coming off the best regular season of his career with 47 wins, a 2.00 GAA and a .925 save percentage -- marks that ranked first, first and second in the NHL, respectively -- and Hellebuyck has carried that form right into the postseason. He'll look to put the Jets up 3-0 when the series shifts to St. Louis on Thursday for Game 3.

Hellebuyck is slated to start in Monday's Game 2 at home against the Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was stellar during the regular season but faltered slightly in Game 1 of the first-round series Saturday, allowing three goals on 17 shots (.824 save percentage). However, the Jets still secured a 5-3 victory, and Hellebuyck will have a chance to right the ship Monday.

Hellebuyck stopped 14 of 17 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck wasn't sharp early in this contest, allowing all three goals in the first 21:13 of the game. The Jets clamped down after that and played a strong third period, which included scoring three times to take the win. Despite the shaky performance, Hellebuyck has won five straight outings, including each of his last two wins over the Blues. Arguably the favorite for the Vezina Trophy this year, Hellebuyck will be between the pipes for the Jets for nearly every second of their playoff run.

Hellebuyck will protect the home net against St. Louis on Saturday in Game 1, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
