Leafs Breakthrough Connor Helleuyck and Beat the Jets in OT 4-3 -Winnipeg Jets Game Reaction

Go ahead and call Connor Hellebuyck the great equalizer. If the blocker fits, you might as well attach it to the Winnipeg Jets goaltender. At this stage of the proceedings, the Toronto Maple Leafs have probably muttered more than a few choice words under their collective breath in response to what they’ve seen so far from Connor Hellebuyck through two games of this mid-season series with the Jets. Whether it’s Hellebuyck casually using the paddle of his stick to thwart a scoring chance off the left skate of William Nylander, or using his glove to snare a slapper off the stick of Joe Thornton, the highlight reel was full of saves like those on Thursday night in Toronto. Never mind the three breakaways Hellebuyck calmly turned aside. But it wasn't enough.
