Hellebuyck will start in Minnesota on Tuesday.

The 6-3-0 Jets will have Hellebuyck tending the twine on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. After a poor season-opening game, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Hellebuyck has returned to the form that has made him a three-time Vezina Trophy winner. The 32-year-old netminder has an excellent 2.16 GAA and .928 SV% in seven games this season (4-3-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as slight -106 road favorites against a struggling Minnesota team that has been outscored 28-39 this season (3-5-2).

Hellebuyck will start vs. Seattle on Thursday.

The Jets are riding a five-game winning streak and hope to extend it on Thursday, turning to Hellebuyck between the pipes against the Seattle Kraken. After an out-of-character season debut for Hellebuyck, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Hellebuyck has returned to his Vezina-caliber ways, winning four straight while posting an absurd 1.50 GAA and .947 SV%. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as significant -225 home favorites against a Kraken team that has been outscored 23-19 this season (3-2-2).

Hellebuyck will start Game 6 in Dallas on Saturday.

Hellebuyck was perfect in Game 5, stopping all 22 shots he faced to keep Winnipeg alive in their 2nd-round series vs. Dallas and will take the crease again for Game 6 on Saturday. The 31-year-old superstar netminder has had an ugly postseason so far despite already posting two shutouts in 12 games played with his 3.18 GAA and .862 SV%. He will head to Dallas on Saturday for Game 6 and push to a second consecutive seven-game series for Winnipeg.

Hellebuyck will start Game 3 on Sunday in Dallas.

Hellebuyck was perfect in Game 2, evening the series after stopping all 21 shots he faced for his fourth career playoff shutout. The 31-year-old's postseason struggles have been well documented this year, with his 3.32 GAA, .854 SV% through nine starts. He will head to Dallas for Game 3 on Sunday in an attempt to take a series lead and will look to post a +.900 SV% for only the third time this postseason.

Hellebuyck will start Game 2 against the Stars.

Hellebuyck was tagged with the loss in Game 1 on Wednesday, allowing three goals on 24 shots. The 31-year-old netminder has posted a SV% above .900 in just one of his eight starts this post-season. If the Jets are going to get passed the mighty Stars, Hellebuyck will no doubt need to regain his regular season form that saw him post a 47-12-3 record along with a .925 SV%. The Jets enter action on Friday at -135 on the money line.
