Hellebuyck has finished every season of his career with a record above .500, but he currently has a 16-17-9 record in a largely disappointing season. That said, the 32-year-old three-time Vezina-winning goalie has returned from his Gold Medal performance with Team USA at the Olympics with some of his most consistent goaltending of the season, posting a stellar 1.99 GAA and .926 SV% in his last five games (3-1-1). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as -148 home favourites against a suddenly surging New York Rangers team that has points in six of their last seven games (4-1-2).
