Hellebuyck will start in Vegas on Friday.

After a tumultuous back-and-forth with the Winnipeg Jets following his trade request, Hellebuyck was finally dealt to the New Jersey Devils last week. He was solid in his team debut on Tuesday, albeit lightly tested, saving 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%) in a 5-1 win over the Dallas Stars. Hellebuyck will likely be eased into action to start, but should see a heavy workload as the season progresses. The Devils enter Friday's contest as slight -100 road underdogs against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Hellebuyck will make his Devils' debut and start in Dallas on Tuesday.

Hellebuyck joined the Devils for practice on Monday and will make his debut Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 33-year-old Hellebuyck, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner, has yet to play this season, refusing to report to Winnipeg's training camp amid his trade request, and comes off a 2025-26 season with a 2.86 GAA and .895 SV% in 57 games (23-23-11). The Devils enter Tuesday's contest as -103 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team on a five-game winning streak. The Devils may ease Hellebuyck into action early, but expect him to carry a heavy workload as the season progresses and the Devils hope to return to the postseason.

Hellebuyck joined the Devils at practice for the first time on Monday and is hopeful to make his debut between the pipes on the team's upcoming three-game road trip. The 33-year-old Hellebuyck, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner, has yet to play this season, refusing to report to Winnipeg's training camp amid his trade request, and comes off a 2025-26 season with a 2.86 GAA and .895 SV% in 57 games (23-23-11).

The Devils have acquired Connor Hellebuyck from the Jets for Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, a 2029 2nd Round Pick and a 2027 7th Round Pick.

After weeks of drama and rumours following a highly publicized trade request, Hellebuyck's wishes have finally been granted in a trade that sends him to the New Jersey Devils. Hellebuyck, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner, has yet to play this season, refusing to report to training camp amid his trade request, and comes off a 2025-26 season with a 2.86 GAA and .895 SV% in 57 games (23-23-11). He joins a Devils team whose goaltending, previously occupied by Jake Allen and Nico Daws, will be immensely upgraded by his presence.

Hellebuyck will start in Vegas on Monday.

Hellebuyck struggled in his previous outing, allowing five goals on 20 shots (.750 SV%) in a 7-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, severely crippling Winnipeg's slim playoff hopes. That said, they will need a win on Monday, along with some luck elsewhere in the league, to stay in the race. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck, the back-to-back reigning Vezina trophy winner, has had a largely disappointing 2025-26 season and hasn't been able to elevate his game at opportune times, including posting an ugly 2.81 GAA and .874 SV% in five games this month (3-2-0). The Jets enter Monday's contest as +150 road underdogs against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Hellebuyck will start Saturday vs. the Flyers.

Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Jets' win in St. Louis on Thursday. Hellebuyck is starting to heat up for the Jets, who are hoping it's not too little, too late. He's won three in a row while allowing just five goals on 62 shots (.919 SV%). Tonight he'll face the Flyers as -126 home favourites.

Hellebuyck will start in St. Louis on Thursday.

The Jets have a game in hand and are four points back of the Nashville Predators for the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, and have no margin for error with only five games remaining in their regular season. Hellebuyck has struggled for most of the 2025-26 season, but has given his team a chance on most nights in recent outings. The 32-year-old goalie has won five of his last seven games (5-2-0) while posting a solid 2.16 GAA and .910 SV%. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as slight -103 road underdogs against the St. Louis Blues, whom they defeated 3-2 last month.

Hellebuyck will start vs. Seattle on Monday.

The Jets remain within reach of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, but with only six games remaining, they will need Hellebuyck to be at his best to give them any hope. After winning consecutive Vezina Trophies, Hellebuyck has had a disappointing 2025-26 season, but he has played better in recent outings. The 32-year-old goalie has won four of his last six (4-2-0), posting a solid 2.18 GAA and .909 SV%. The Jets enter Monday's contest as -167 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken team that has free-fallen out of the playoff race with a 2-6-2 record in their last 10 games.

Hellebuyck will start in Dallas on Thursday.

The Jets remain in contention for a playoff spot and will need Hellebuyck at his best in the final weeks of the season, beginning with Thursday's game against the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck didn't need to be impressive while facing only 21 shots (.857 SV%) in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Hellebuyck has had, by his elite standards, a poor 2025-26 season, as evident by the 2.69 GAA and .897 SV% he posted in 14 March games (7-4-3). The three-time Vezina Trophy-winning goalie has posted a sub-.900 SV% in each month this season, except October. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as +143 road underdogs against the Stars.

The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was solid in his most recent outing, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in an impressive 4-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche. He has had a largely disappointing 2025-26 season, but he has an excellent 2.00 GAA and .929 SV% in his last three games (2-1-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -151 road favourites against a Blackhawks team that has been outscored 16-5 in their last three games (0-3-0).

Hellebuyck will start vs. Colorado on Thursday.

Hellebuyck was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. That said, reliable efforts from the three-time Vezina-winning goalie have not been a regularity this season. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck has allowed three or more goals in seven of 13 games since returning from the Olympic break (5-4-4), posting a pedestrian 2.98 GAA and .890 SV%. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as +157 home underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who have outscored their opposition 13-5 in their last three games (3-0-0).
