DALLAS - Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel chuckled when asked before Sunday's game what had worked so well against preposterously hot Mikko Rantanen in a Game 2 shutout of the Dallas Stars. "Well, we're not done with him yet," Arniel said. Not by a long shot.

Goaltending is more mental than physical, and Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets might provide the best example. He's long been a positive example, becoming one of the best in goal despite not being the most flexible or athletically gifted. His super-processor of a brain and his ability to diagnose plays as they unfold make him special.
