The biggest question heading into Sunday's St. Louis Blues-Winnipeg Jets Game 7 is which Connor Hellebuyck shows up.
The Jets goaltender once again is struggling in the playoffs after a spectacular regular season. He's a finalist for the Hart Trophy and the Vezina Trophy, but was pulled in all three games in St. Louis in this series.

In what has been a fun and exciting series between two very different teams, the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets get set to fight it out for the last spot in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Jets and Blues have traded blows throughout this series, both in victories and during games. Through the first six games of this opening-round matchup, the home team has won each matchup, including the Blues running away with a 5-2 win on Friday night to send this series the distance.
Sunday, he'll be at home, where the Jets are 3-0 and have limited the Blues to seven goals.
The winner of Sunday's game will face the Dallas Stars, who rallied behind Mikko Rantanen's third-period hat trick to down the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 in Game 7 on Saturday night.
Here are predictions and how to watch Game 7 between the Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues.
The Blues have not played in a do-or-die game since 2019, when they knocked off the Dallas Stars in the second round, before beating the Boston Bruins in the Stanely Cup Final.

(WC2) St. Louis Blues vs. (1) Winnipeg Jets (Game 7)
When: Sunday, May 4
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Where: Canada Life Centre (Winnipeg, Manitoba)
Channel: TBS
Coaches' Game 7 records
Winnipeg's Scott Arniel has never been a head coach in an NHL Game 7 but is 3-3 as an assistant or associate coach. St. Louis' Jim Montgomery is 1-2 as a head coach. That includes a first-round loss in 2023 when he was coach of the Boston Bruins, the No. 1 overall and record-setting team that season. The Bruins won their Game 7 last season.
Goalies' Game 7 records
Blues goalie Jordan Binnington is 2-0 with a 0.82 goals-against average and a .968 save percentage in Game 7s, both of them in the 2019 playoffs, including in the Stanley Cup Final. Winnipeg's Hellebuyck is 1-0, 1.00, .973, winning in the 2018 playoffs.
Jets vs. Blues Game 7 predictions
Jason Anderson: Blues 5, Jets 4. The Jets had the best defense in hockey this year, with Connor Hellebuyck in the hunt for the Vezina, which makes his struggles in this series all the more baffling. He's been pulled from all three road games and has a .815 save percentage in this series. This pick is less about the Blues, and more about Winnipeg being unable to keep pucks out of the net.
Mike Brehm: Jets 4, Blues 3. I'm giving the Jets the edge because they're at home, and they were able to bounce back and win Game 5 after losing back-to-back games in St. Louis. They won that game despite losing Mark Scheifele to an injury. He won't play Sunday, but Winnipeg still will have plenty of offense.
Jace Evans: Blues 4, Jets 2. The Jets battled all year to get the top seed for this moment, but I just don’t trust Connor Hellebuyck right now. The likely Vezina Trophy winner has given up at least three goals in five of the series’ six games. Not to oversimplify the game … but Game 7’s outcome hinges entirely on which Hellebuyck shows up.
