Connor Hellebuyck News

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).

After allowing five goals on 32 shots (.865 SV%) in Winnipeg's season-opening 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Hellebuyck has returned to form in three games since, allowing two or fewer goals in three straight (3-0-0), posting an impressive .938 SV%. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck, the two-time reigning Vezina trophy winner, returns to the crease on Monday against the Calgary Flames. The Jets enter Monday's contest as -144 road favorites.

Hellebuyck, the two-time reigning Vezina Trophy winner, has played only two games this season, both with contrasting results.

Hellebuyck and the Jets will look for more consistency on Thursday, entering their contest against the Philadelphia Flyers as -134 road favourites.

Hellebuyck and the Jets were eliminated by the Stars in the second round of the playoffs and will hope to enact some revenge with a victory on Thursday. Winnipeg enters the contest as slight -101 home underdogs against Dallas.

Hellebuyck left Winnipeg's skate on Monday after he "wasn't feeling quite right" and will now have his status up in the air for Tuesday's preseason game in Minnesota. The 32-year-old reigning Vezina Trophy winner is coming off an impressive 47-12-3 season, with a 2.00 GAA and .925 SV%. If he is forced to miss any time, Eric Comrie will be expected to fill in.

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.

The Jets are coming off consecutive losses on the road and trail their series with the Dallas Stars 3-1, entering a must-win Game 5 on Thursday at home. Hellebuyck had an impressive 21-save shutout in Game 2, but allowed eight goals on 60 shots (.866 SV%) in his following two games. The 31-year-old netminder has a 3.48 GAA and .851 SV% in 11 games this postseason (5-6). The Jets enter Game 5 as -123 home favorites against the Stars.

Hellebuyck had a 21-save shutout in Game 2, but responded with a forgetful outing in Game 3, allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, as the Jets fell behind 2-1 in the series. The 31-year-old netminder, a two-time Vezina winner, has struggled in the postseason, showcasing an unimpressive 3.51 GAA and .848 SV% in 10 games (5-5). He has a 2.56 GAA and .918 SV% in 568 career regular season games (322-18-44) but only has a 2.96 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 career postseason games (23-32). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as +135 road underdogs against the Stars.

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 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.

After struggling tremendously in the 1st round, Connor Hellebuyck bounced back in Game 7 by not allowing a goal for the final 56 minutes, as he led Winnipeg to a series win. The 31-year-old soon-to-be Vezina winner will re-take his place between the pipes for Game 1 on Wednesday vs. Dallas and will hope to build off his ugly 3.85 GAA and .830 SV%. He will host the Dallas Stars, who are coming off a hard-fought seven-game series vs. Colorado.
