The Winnipeg Jets goaltender struggled at times, particularly in the best-of-7 Western Conference First Round. Winnipeg went on to eliminate the St. Louis Blues in Game 7, but Hellebuyck was pulled from three games in the series. He allowed 16 goals on 66 shots in those three games (.758 save percentage).

The Winnipeg Jets are heading to Dallas for Game 6 of their first-round playoff series with the Stars after winning Game 5 at home. The Jets were able to stave off elimination by shutting out the Stars and keeping this series alive.
