For all three games in St. Louis this series, Jets' Connor Hellebuyck was pulled, and head coach Scott Arniel still has confidence in his team's goalie for Game 7. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Winnipeg Jets</a> came to the rescue of star goalie Connor Hellebuyck after <a href='https://www.nhl.com/news/winnipeg-jets-remain-confident-in-connor-hellebuyck-after-game-6-loss' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>another tough performance on the road, a 5-2 loss</a> to <a href='https://www.nhl.com/blues/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the St. Louis Blues</a> on Friday night that pushed a Game 7 in their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series. Hellebuyck was pulled after the second period, the third consecutive game in St. Louis that he was unable to finish. <h3>Scott Arniel still has full confidence in his goalie for Game 7</h3> He gave up five goals on 23 shots, a sickening four-goal stretch in over five minutes in the early stages of the second period. Blues' fans booed and chanted, We want Connor! as he left the ice. Scott Arniel wasn't phased by any of this. This isn't about Connor, Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. Tonight was not about Connor. Tonight, we imploded in front of him. Now, it's a one-game showdown. It's our goalie against their goalie, our best players against their best, our grinders against theirs. I have a lot of confidence in our [entire] group -- not just Helly. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1918512195467432261'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> In spite of all his fight, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/connor-hellebuyck-8476945' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Hellebuyck</a> remains one of the league's best goaltenders.

He's also a Hart Trophy nominee and was the first choice of Team USA in last February's 4 Nations Face-Off. He was also scheduled to lead the team at next year's Winter Olympics. But Hellebuyck's postseason record has been anything but elite. Over his past three playoff seasons, he's 5-11 with a .860 save percentage. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/theScore/status/1918480494892650565'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> He was pulled in all three games on the road in this series alone: on 25 shots, allowing six goals in Game 3, on 18 shots, allowing five goals in Game 4, and on five more in Game 6.

Despite the numbers, the Jets still support their goalie's back, anticipating he can make a comeback in the decisive Game 7 of the series.
