WST | Why Connor Hellebuyck is Struggling – Winnipeg Jets Analysis with Mike McKenna

Video Description:
Former NHL goalie Mike McKenna joined Andrew “Hustler” Paterson from St. Louis to dive deep into the biggest storyline of the Jets vs. Blues playoff series — the goaltending.

McKenna shares his honest take on Connor Hellebuyck’s struggles, Jordan Binnington’s edge, and why Winnipeg’s defense may be hurting their all-world goalie. The two also discuss the impact of injuries, missing stars like Ehlers, and why this series is still wide open despite the Blues’ momentum.
