The Winnipeg Jets face the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of their best-of-7 Western Conference semifinal series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in Dallas.
Jets' Connor Hellebuyck, who shutout the Stars in Game 2, has a .772 SV% and a 6.65 GAA on the road in the playoffs.
The Jets will be looking at this game as an absolute must-win as they should with a 3-1 series deficit virtually sealing their fate. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger has been sensational but has shown cracks with .908 save percentage in five home playoff starts.
For the third consecutive year, Hellebuyck has struggled mightily in the playoffs following a brilliant regular season. He and the Jets escaped the first round after a double-overtime win over St. Louis in Game 7, but Winnipeg will need a much better version of Hellebuyck to beat the Dallas Stars in Round 2.
