Hellebuyck did not play on Tuesday but will return to the crease on Thursday in a highly touted divisional matchup against the Dallas Stars.

Hellebuyck had the night off in Winnipeg's 6-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday but will return to the crease on Friday in a favourable matchup against the low-scoring Chicago Blackhawks (2.09 GF / GP).
