Hellebuyck has not played since November 15th and was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure.

The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was showcasing a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in 14 games (8-6-0) before his injury.

Hellebuyck has not played since November 15th and was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure, but appears to be targeting the early end as a return after practicing on Wednesday. The Jets have gone 3-7-1 in 11 games without Hellebuyck and will be eager to regain the services of their three-time Vezina-winning goalie. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was showcasing a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in 14 games (8-6-0) before his injury.

On Friday morning, the Jets surprisingly announced that Hellebuyck will be sidelined for four to six weeks after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck has been a workhorse for the Jets for the previous several seasons, missing minimal time and being among the league leaders for games played. His impending absence likely lessens his chances of repeating as the winner of the Vezina Trophy for a third consecutive season despite another good start in 2025-26, with a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% through 14 games (8-6-0). Expect Eric Comrie to see a heavy workload between the pipes for the Jets during Hellebuyck's absence.

The 10-6-0 Jets will turn to Hellebuyck on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was solid in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and has been at his usual Vezina-caliber self throughout the season. He has a solid 2.35 GAA and .920 SV% in 12 games this season (7-5-0). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as -141 road favorites against a Kraken team that has scored fewer than two goals in three of their last four games (1-2-1).

The Jets have only scored two combined goals in their last three games (0-3-0) and will need Hellebuyck to be near-perfect on Tuesday if their offense continues to struggle.

The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -116 road favorites against the Vancouver Canucks.
