Take a moment and think of the NHL’s best goaltenders. You know, the ones whose teams pencil their guy in for 55 starts every year. Durable. Consistent.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is in the driver’s seat to win his second straight Vezina Trophy and third overall, but he has also now put himself firmly in the conversation to be the NHL’s MVP.
Hellebuyck stopped 24 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens. Hellebuyck was caught flat-footed by Juraj Slafkovsky midway through the first period then shut the door. He kicked off Winnipeg's three-game road trip with his third consecutive win and seventh in the last eight starts.
But the Winnipeg Jets’ Eric Comrie is doing a great job, and now, a video of him being mic’d up during a game has made the rounds on social media, with everyone absolutely loving his positive attitude.
Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets won their fourth in a row, 4-1 over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
