Hellebuyck is expected to start on Wednesday after not taking part in a optional morning skate.

Hellebuyck snapped a three-game losing skid in his last outing, saving 35 of 36 shots (.972 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, and will likely return to the crease on Wednesday night. The 30-year-old Hellebuyck has been amongst the league leaders all season, boasting a stellar 2.19 GAA and .925 SV% through 37 games (24-10-3). He is poised for a strong performance on Wednesday as the Jets are overwhelming -444 home favourites against the league's lowest-scoring team, the San Jose Sharks (2.08 GF / GP).

Gustafsson (lower body) is expected to be activated off Injured Reserve Monday.

Stanley will draw back into the Jets' lineup as the replacement for suspended Brenden Dillon.

Brenden Dillon was suspended three games for an illegal check to the head of Noel Acciari on Tuesday, creating a lineup opening for Stanley. Stanley has not played since December 12th and has been limited to only seven games this season, averaging 12:19 time-on-ice.

Scheifele (lower body) has been activated from the Injured Reserve.

Scheifele has missed the Jets' previous six games as he dealt with a lower-body injury but will return to Winnipeg's lineup on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh. The 30-year-old star centre will make a much-welcomed return as he currently leads the Jets in points with 14 goals and 41 points in 41 games played before his injury.

Hellebuyck will start Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

After being the most dominant goalie in the league for two months, Hellebuyck is riding a two-game losing streak for the first time since November, allowing six goals on 49 shots (.878 SV%). The talented netminder will look to return to form on Tuesday as the Jets enter action as slight +103 road underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).
