For Connor Hellebuyck, Game 7 against St. Louis will come close. Winnipeg was too good all season — with Hellebuyck as a driving force — for the Jets to let Game 7 slip away.

If Hellebuyck wants that same reputation, it has to start in Dallas. Or it might become too late. To be clear, the Jets goalie isn’t the only player with something to prove in Game 6, though.
