ST. LOUIS -- Connor Hellebuyck, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner who is among the favorites to win the award again this season, allowed five goals before being pulled on Sunday, as the top-seeded Winnipeg Jets fell to the St. Louis Blues, 5-1, evening their Western Conference first-round series at 2-2.
Hellebuyck has now been pulled in back-to-back games, and on St. Louis ice this series, he has allowed 11 goals and posted a paltry .744 save percentage. Eric Comrie made five saves in relief of Hellebuyck on Sunday, but the game had long been decided by that point.
