The sea of white in Winnipeg chanted "M-V-P!" in unison during the Jets' Game 2 win over the Dallas Stars on Friday night. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck heard and appreciated those chants.
"It means a whole lot. I love this crowd. I love this city," said Hellebuyck, who stopped 21 shots in Winnipeg's 4-0 victory that evened their Western Conference semifinal series at 1-1.
It was Hellebuyck's first playoff shutout since a 1-0 blanking of the Edmonton Oilers in the first round in 2021, and the fourth postseason shutout of his career.
