Hellebuyck will start vs. Chicago on Tuesday.

After tremendous performances while representing Team USA at the Olympics, propelling them to a Gold Medal, Hellebuyck has returned to uncharacteristically subpar performances while representing the Jets this season. That said, he was solid in his most recent outing, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks, which was the first time he has allowed fewer than three goals in seven outings (1-3-3). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -154 home favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks, who are coming off an impressive 4-0 win over the Utah Mammoth.

Hellebuyck will start in Anaheim on Friday.

Hellebuyck was tremendous for Team USA at the Olympics, helping them secure the Gold Medal, and was given an extra night off when Winnipeg returned to action on Wednesday. That said, Hellebuyck will likely return to the Jets' crease on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck hopes his recent international success will translate to the NHL level, where he has battled some adversity this season. The three-time Vezina-winning goalie entered the Olympic break allowing three or more goals in five straight games (1-3-1), posting a subpar 3.69 GAA and .879 SV%. The Jets enter Friday's contest as +115 road underdogs against a Ducks team coming off a rollercoaster 6-5 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Hellebuyck will start Thursday vs. Latvia.

It's been a bit of a disappointing season for Hellebuyck, who was so dominant in 2024-25. Through 36 games, he's 13-16-7 with a 2.79 GAA and .900 SV%, a far cry from the 2.01 GAA and .925 SV% we saw last season. Internationally, he's only appeared in the 4Nations tournament since 2018, and he was great for the Americans, going 2-1-0 with a 1.59 GAA and .932 SV%.

Hellebuyck will start vs. Montreal on Wednesday.

Hellebuyck's disappointing stretch continued on Monday, allowing four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck has allowed three or more goals in four straight (1-2-1) and has lost six of his last seven (1-3-3), posting a 2.87 GAA and .901 SV%. The Jets enter the action on Wednesday at even -105 odds at home against a Montreal Canadiens team with points in four straight games (3-0-1).

Hellebuyck will start in Dallas on Monday.

Hellebuyck will return to the crease on Monday against Jake Oettinger, who he hopes will be his understudy at the upcoming Winter Olympics. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was solid in his previous game, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%), but, as has been the case most of the season, the Jets still fell 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Dating back to his return from a knee procedure in mid-December, Hellebuyck is posting uncharacteristically concerning numbers: 2.90 GAA and .894 SV in 20 games (5-9-6). The Jets enter Monday's contest as +129 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that has won five of its last six games (5-1-0).

Hellebuyck is expected to start in Florida on Saturday.

Despite losing four of his last five (1-3-1), Hellebuyck has played better lately, posting a 2.40 GAA and .913 SV%. That said, he has not played up to the elite form that has become expected of the three-time Vezina Trophy winner, allowing three or more goals in nine of his last 12 games (4-5-3) while posting a subpar 3.09 GAA and .895 SV%. He will likely return to the crease on Saturday against a Florida Panthers team that he saved 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%) against in a 2-1 shootout loss two weeks ago.

Hellebuyck will start in Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Hellebuyck saved 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils, which, despite the victory, continued a trend of sub-900 SV% performances. The 32-year-old American goalie, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner, has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 11 games (4-4-3). The Jets enter the action on Thursday as +162 road underdogs against one of the NHL's hottest teams, the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are 15-1-1 in their last 17 games.
