Mittelstadt registers an assist and five shots
Casey Mittelstadt registered an assist and five shots on goal in Game 4 in a 5-1 victory over Winnipeg on Sunday. Mittelstadt has been solid in the postseason, generating five points, 15 shots and five hits in four playoff contests. In his 22 games for the Avalanche since being acquired at the trade deadline, the 25-year-old center has produced offensively with five goals and 10 assists, though just one of those points has come with the man advantage.
Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 30 shots
Connor Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 30 shots in Sunday’s 5-1 Game 4 loss to the Avalanche. He was pulled after the second period. Two of the four goals against Hellebuyck came on the power play. He was relieved of his duties after the second frame Sunday for backup Laurent Brossoit. Hellebuyck has now allowed 19 goals on 131 shots in the first-round series, which the Jets trail 3-1. In order for the Jets to make a comeback in the series, they need Hellebuyck to get back to his Vezina-caliber ways. Winnipeg will host Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday.
