The bad news for the Winnipeg Jets is that, yet again, Connor Hellebuyck has been unable to handle the pressure of post-season hockey, and the front-runner for the Vezina Trophy and even a finalist for the Hart has been pulled three times in the opening round. The good news is that his familiar issues are only showing up in the road games, and the Presidents’ Trophy-winners are set to play more games at Canada Life Centre in every round with home-ice advantage throughout the post-season, including tonight’s Game 7.

Before they can think about carrying that advantage to a series with another team, they first have to win a showdown with the St. Louis Blues. They will also be doing so without Mark Scheifele, so it’s far from a guarantee that they can finish off the trend of the home team winning each game.
