00:00We do got hockey tonight. One game standalone, 8 p.m. tonight. That's Winnipeg and Dallas in

00:06Dallas today. A favorite here of around a minus 150 price on Dallas in a total that's listed at

00:11five and a half. Dallas does have a two to one series lead and we're still waiting on regular

00:16season Hellebuck to show up in the playoffs, Pete. What gives tonight between the Jets and the Stars?

00:22So Winnipeg has a chance, of course, to bounce back here in hockey any given game, even if you're

00:29outshot, right? Two to one, three to one. You could see a surprise victory, especially with

00:35the goaltender of Connor Hellebuck's caliber. But when you look at the road splits for Hellebuck,

00:40he's been the worst goalie in the league on the road this postseason. 0-4, 772. My goodness. I mean,

00:46usually a bad save percentage is in the 800s. This one's in the 700s. 21 goals allowed in four road

00:54playoff games. And Dallas has looked a lot better at home this postseason compared to previous post

01:00seasons. Thanks to Mikko Rantanen. I mean, Mikko Rantanen has been absolutely ridiculous. He has to

01:06be the favorite for the Conn Smythe and for playoff MVP. Three plus points in five of his past six

01:14playoff games is unheard of. This time of year, things get clamped down and the offense dries up

01:20right. Not for Mikko Rantanen. This guy is on an absolute rampage right now.
