Hellebuyck leads the Jets onto the ice for warmups.

Hellebuyck, 22, was a fifth round pick (130th overall) in 2012. Hellebuyck was 2-7-1 with Manitoba (AHL) despite posting a 2.41 GAA and .927 SV% this season. There is a lot of hype surrounding the former UMass-Lowell goaltender, who appears to be in line to make his NHL debut in Minnesota.

The Senators have recalled Chris Driedger from Binghamton (AHL).

Driedger, 21, has gone 5-5-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .910 SV% in 10 games with Binghamton this season. With Andrew Hammond still sidelined with a concussion, the Senators have swapped Driedger and Matt O’Connor so that O’Connor can get some playing time.

Miller (lower-body) will play on Thursday.

Miller missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. Minnesota. Miller has one goal and six assists (seven points) in 14 games this season. Miller will replace Kevan Miller, who is out with an upper-body injury.

Colin Miller
Colin Miller is expected to make his NHL debut on Saturday.

Miller, 22, came over in the Milan Lucic trade this summer and will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Canadiens. Miller has a tonne of offensive ability on the blueline—he had 19 goals and 33 assists (52 points) in 70 games with Manchester (AHL) last season.

The Bruins have acquired Colin Miller, Martin Jones and the 13th overall pick from the Kings for Milan Lucic.

Miller, 22, led all Manchester (AHL) defensemen and finished second among all AHL blue liners with 52 points (19G / 33A) in 70 games this season. He is under-sized at 6-foot, 173 lbs, but the 2012 5th round pick has plenty of offensive upside that will help ease the Bruins loss of Dougie Hamilton, who was traded to the Flames earlier in the day.

The Jets have recalled Nikolaj Ehlers from Halifax (QMJHL).

Ehlers, 19, was the Jets first round pick (9th overall) in last summer’s entry draft. He had 101 points (37G / 64A) in 51 games with Halifax this season. In the playoffs, he registered 31 points (10G / 21A) in 14 games before they were eliminated. Ehlers is not expected to play, but he has been recalled to get an off-ice feel of NHL playoff hockey.

The Jets have recalled Connor Hellebuyck from St. John's (AHL).

Hellebuyck, 21, has gone 28-22-5 with a 2.58 GAA and .921 SV% in 58 games in his first season with St. John’s. He could make his NHL debut on Saturday to give Michael Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavelec the day off, or he might just be here as the third goalie heading into the playoffs.
