Winnipeg Jets News

Niederreiter was injured prior to the Christmas break and will miss his second straight game tonight. There’s no word on how long Niederreiter will be out, so consider him day-to-day.

Hellebuyck allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Jets loss in Boston last Thursday. Hellebuyck got Saturday off, so he’ll be back in net tonight vs. the Oilers. Hellebuyck has gone 5-2-2 with a 2.64 GAA and .907 SV% and was victorious in his only start vs. Edmonton this season.

Niederreiter left last night’s game in Florida with an ankle injury and will not be in the lineup tonight. Niederreiter was spotted wearing a walking boot after the game, so he could be sidelined for some time. Expect ab update on his status after Christmas.

Hellebuyck yielded four goals on 34 shots in the Jets win in Nashville on Tuesday. Hellebuyck’s numbers haven’t been as good in December, but he is still 5-2-1 in eight starts despite a 2.87 GAA and .898 SV%. He has a tough matchup tonight against a Bruins team that has won seven of their last 10 games (7-2-1).

Fleury came out of the Hurricanes lineup on Saturday but will draw back in this afternoon in Toronto. Fleury, who will play with Justin Faulk, has just four assists in 29 games this season.

Hellebuyck stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Jets shutout win over the Blues on Sunday. December has been a bit of a rollercoaster for the 24-year-old, who has gone 4-2-1 with a 2.71 GAA and .901 SV% in seven starts this month. This will be his second start vs. the Predators this season—he gave up five goals on 29 shots in a 5-3 loss in late-November.

Hellebuyck allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Jets win over the Canucks on Monday. Hellebuyck has lost three of his last six games while posting a 2.82 GAA and .896 SV% but he doesn’t appear to be in any danger of losing playing time. The 24-year-old is a ridiculous 11-0-1 in 13 appearances on home ice, posting a 2.09 GAA and .930 SV% in the process.

Comrie made only one start with the Jets during his call-up and he struggled allowing five goals on 35 shots in a loss to the Panthers last Thursday. With Steve Mason being activated from IR, Comrie returns to the Moose where he has gone 8-4-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .927 SV% in 13 games this season.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Jets loss in Tampa Bay on Saturday. Hellebuyck has lost his last two starts while allowing a combined nine goals on 60 shots (.850 SV%). With Steve Mason still out, Hellebuyck will get a chance to right the ship tonight vs. the Canucks.

Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 32 shots in the Jets loss in Detroit on Tuesday. Hellebuyck got the night off on Thursday, so Hellebuyck will get back between the pipes tonight in Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old has gone 5-3-2 with a 2.72 GAA and .915 SV% on the road this season and Tampa Bay comes in leading the NHL in scoring (3.75 GF/PG).

With Steve Mason out and Connor Hellebuyck starting the last seven games, Comrie will make his season debut tonight in Florida. Comrie has gone 8-4-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .927 SV% in 13 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season. He may be with a spot-start with a decent matchup against James Reimer.

Connor missed Sunday’s games against the Senators because of a lower-body injury, but traveled with the Jets to Detroit and is expected to play tonight. Connor took part in line rushes at the morning skate and was back in his spot on the top line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Connor has been great since being called up, recording 17 points (9G / 8A) in 21 games.

Hellebuyck stopped all 21 shots that he faced in the Jets’ shutout win over the Senators on Sunday. Hellebuyck has started six straight games, winning four of them with a 2.42 GAA, .910 SV% and one shutout. He is a must-start in Detroit against a Red Wings team that is on a seven-game losing streak (0-4-3).
