NHL Playoffs 2025: Connor Hellebuyck records second shutout of series, highlights 3 Stars of the Night

In the Western Conference, the Winnipeg Jets staved off elimination thanks to a 4-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 5. Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 22 shots he faced for his second shutout by the same score in Game 2. Vladislav Namestnikov scored the only goal the home team would need, and then Nikolaj Ehlers scored twice before Mark Scheifele provider the capper with a shorthanded empty-net goal.

But the game could provide more lasting drama and pain for Dallas. Stars captain Jamie Benn socked Scheifele during a tussle, and there is the possibility that a suspension could follow for Saturday's Game 6.
