Kyle Connor scored a natural hat trick in the first period to spark the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is having an outstanding season and is deservedly right in the thick of the Hart Memorial Trophy race. Could he be the first netminder to be named the NHL’s most valuable player in a decade?

Connor Hellebuyck did it again. Just like he did in November, Hellebuyck continued his redemption against the Avalanche following last year’s disappointing playoff exit with yet another shutout victory.

The Kraken managed to keep pace Thursday night against the best in the West, but an unlucky bounce in the closing minute allowed Winnipeg to escape with a 2-1 win.

If Colorado has another trip to Winnipeg this season, it will be during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Avalanche will have to hope it can find its mojo from the 2024 postseason.

The Central Division-leading Winnipeg Jets are set to host the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, with both teams eager for a victory -- though for different reasons.

Hellebuyck has earned a shutout in three straight regular season meetings with Colorado. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner had 35 saves in a 1-0 win on Nov. 7 and 30 saves in a 7-0 win on April 13. He is 15-7-4 with five shutouts in 26 regular-season games against the Avalanche, including 8-1-0 in his past nine.

Connor Hellebuyck has backstopped the Winnipeg Jets for over 500 games, including his ascent to the third-fastest goaltender in NHL history to reach the 300-win milestone.
