Down 3-1 in their series with the Colorado Avalance, the Jets will turn to Hellebucyk between the pipes in a must-win contest.

The Jets are unsurprisingly turning back to Hellebuyck for Game 3 on Friday in Colorado after he allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in a loss last game.

He will try to slow down the Colorado Avalanche in Colorado for Game 3, who led the NHL in goals per game (3.68) during the regular season.

Barron suffered a lower-body injury in the Jets' second-last game of the season and will not play in Game 1 vs. the Avalanche. Look for David Gustafsson or Cole Perfetti to replace him in the Jets' bottom-6.
