3 reasons the Winnipeg Jets didn't win the Stanley Cup

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck wasn't impressive in this series

The Winnipeg Jets were one of the best defensive teams in the NHL this season. Connor Hellebuyck is probably going to win the Vezina Trophy for his amazing play. He also shared the Jennings Trophy (least amount of goals given up) with Laurent Brossoit.

In this series, Hellebuyck was not good enough. He was the best goalie in the regular season but one of the worst in the playoffs. That is a good way to say goodbye in the first round.

Hellebuyck finished with a 5.23 goals against average and .870 save percentage. With numbers like that for one of the best goalies in the world, it is not shocking that they lost the series.

You can't win the Stanley Cup with poor goaltending and that is what they got in this series. They need him to be much better in future postseasons if they want to eventually win this thing.
