Falls short in big game Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Impact Hellebuyck put the Jets in position to gain some separation in the playoff race by going 4-2-0 with just 12 goals allowed in his previous six starts, but he failed to hold a 1-0 lead after the first intermission in this pivotal game. After Calgary's win in Winnipeg, these two teams are tied for the final playoff spot at 89 points. The Jets still control their own destiny thanks to a game in hand, and they will almost certainly roll exclusively with Hellebuyck in the crease for their final four games.

Hellebuyck hasn't allowed more than three goals in nine straight starts, going 5-4-0 with a 2.24 GAA and .912 save percentage, and he sits one win short of tying the career-high 34 he set in 2018-19. With the Jets fighting to hang onto a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, expect the 29-year-old netminder to see a heavy workload down the stretch.

No help in Tuesday's loss Hellebuyck stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Sharks.
Impact Hellebuyck continues to operate on thin margins -- the Jets have provided just nine goals of support over his last seven starts. He's gone 3-4-0 in that span, but three of those losses have been shutouts. He can't do it all himself, even as one of the best goalies in the league.

Kings tie franchise mark with point in 11th straight game
Viktor Arvidsson had two goals and the Los Angeles Kings matched their longest point streak in franchise history with a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday afternoonMARCH 25, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Teammates on heels all night long Hellebuyck made 25 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Saturday. He allowed three goals.
Impact His teammates never gave their star twinetender the lead Saturday. Viktor Arvidsson wired a wrist shot through traffic 1:22 into the game that Hellebuyck never really saw. And then Alex Iafallo scored on a power play early in the second. Drew Doughty wired a wrist shot from the wide-side of the right circle just 27 seconds into the third that Hellebuyck probably should have had given the angle. With the loss and the Flames' win Saturday, the Jets have just a four-point cushion on the second wild card. Hellebuyck will need to continue to be the team's best man if they are to keep that spot secure.

Impact He allowed a goal in each period and had little chance of stopping any of them, as two came with St. Louis skaters camped out in front of him to bang home rebounds and the third on a Jakub Vrana breakaway. Hellebuyck had a rough stretch in late February and early March but appears to have shaken it off, going 3-3-0 over his last six starts with a 2.67 GAA and .903 save percentage -- a big improvement after he coughed up at least four goals in four straight outings.
