During the regular season, Hellebuyck was outstanding, a leading candidate for the Vezina trophy, posting an absurd 2.00 GAA and .925 SV% in 63 appearances (47-12-3). He allowed five goals in a game, never more, on three separate occasions. In his last two games this postseason (0-2), Hellebuyck has allowed 11 goals on 43 shots (.744 SV%). With the series tied 2-2, Hellebuyck hopes to exercise some playoff demons, returning to the crease for Game 5. The Jets enter the action on Wednesday as -176 home favorites against a Blues team that has outscored them 16-10 in the series.

Vilardi has not played since late March but will likely make his 2024-25 postseason debut on Wednesday in Game 5 against the St. Louis Blues. The Jets have lost two straight, evening their series at 2-2, and will rely on Vilardi to provide some much-needed offense. The 25-year-old Vilardi was having a tremendous season for the Jets before his injury, scoring 61 points (27G / 34A) in 71 games.









Miller will slot in for Dylan DeMelo, who was a late scratch with an undisclosed injury. Miller appeared in 60 games this season, logging four goals and 11 assists.

DeMelo was a surprise scratch for Game 3, with the Jets not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Colin Miller will draw into the lineup in his place.
