Golden Knights vs. Jets live stream, Game 5: TV schedule, online and more
By Adam Stocker
The Winnipeg Jets host the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
The Vegas Golden Knights are one win away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Final in their first season. At the beginning of the season, Vegas was favored to finish dead last. Instead, they could be the last team standing. Winnipeg need to win to keep their season alive.
No team has better at home this season than Winnipeg. The Jets are hoping that trend continues in Game 5. The fans in Winnipeg will not want to see their season end on home ice. Winnipeg’s second and third lines have gone quiet in the series. Paul Stastny, Bryan Little and Nikolaj Ehlers have combined for only two points. Connor Hellebuyck needs to play better for Winnipeg to force Game 6 in Vegas. Hellebuyck has allowed 11 goals in the first four games and posted only a .897 save percentage.
Marc-Andre Fleury is playing the best hockey of his career. Only one goalie in NHL history has posted a higher save percentage than Fleury has this season. Fleury has been incredible posting four shutouts and a .945 save percentage. Vegas’ defense has played very strong in front of Fleury. Gerrard Gallant has been able to keep his defense fresh by not overusing any of his pairs. Only Nate Schmidt has averaged more than 21 minutes per game against Winnipeg. Jonathan Marchessault has been incredible in the series, scoring four goals and seven points.
