Connor Hellebuyck with 24 saves, Jets blank Blues to split home-and-home set
WINNIPEG — Connor Hellebuyck was happy to have a hand in some payback.
Less that 24 hours after Winnipeg was shut out 2-0 in St. Louis, Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Jets ended a two-game losing skid with a 4-0 win over the Blues on Sunday.
“We kind of deserved this one because (of Saturday’s loss). I thought we were the better team,” said Hellebuyck, who sat out the loss in favour of backup Steve Mason.
“It’s very satisfying and I think it’s better for the guys in this room because now they know that they did play the right way and they continued to play the right way.”
