The NHLJets are still working on making the right play at the right time. Connor Hellebuyck is still working on his game as well. (Via SportsnetSpec)
The Pavelski goal, a two-on-one that left Hellebuyck hopeless, was accurately described by the goaltender as “a kick in the nuts.”
Like when he was asked about the state of his game, not 24 hours after allowing five goals against San Jose. Take the Sharks’ game-wining goal as an example: It was a two-on-one goal that gets stopped maybe once in six or seven attempts, caused by “a dumb mistake,” as Nik Ehlers described his attempted cross-ice pass that Marc-Edouard Vlasic tipped up to Timo Meier, who would feed Pavelski.
Like the old joke about two places never to make a drop pass — at home, and on the road — there are times to try that cross-ice pass, and times to keep it in your holster. But Ehlers misjudged, and now Hellebuyck wears that goal on his stats, and the ‘L’ on his record.
