Dallas gets grounded as Hellebuyck turns into a brick wall and the Jets fly high in Game 3 beatdown.
It wasn’t a game — it was a defensive masterclass disguised as a full-on lockdown. The Winnipeg Jets didn’t just beat the Stars; they unplugged them, took their batteries, and threw the remote into the Red River.
The Stars came into Game 3 hoping to bounce back, but instead found themselves skating into a Connor Hellebuyck-shaped nightmare. The man was on fire — metaphorically, of course — stopping everything short of the Zamboni.
Dallas generated shots, zone time, and maybe some existential dread, but no goals. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Every time they thought “this one’s going in,” Hellebuyck casually said, “Nope, not in my rink.”
Meanwhile, the Jets’ offense wasn’t just sharp — it was surgical. Kyle Connor scored with the precision of a guy who knows exactly which angle breaks a goalie’s soul. Ehlers and Scheifele joined the party, and before you could say “hey maybe we should backcheck,” it was 4–0.
By the third period, Dallas looked like they’d rather be anywhere else. Winnipeg fans? Already dreaming of parade routes and printing sarcastic memes.
Final score: Jets 4, Stars 0. And the series? Suddenly tilted toward Manitoba with major momentum.
