Hellebuyck is in the starter's crease at the Jets morning skate.

Hellebuyck is coming off a 24-save, 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs this past Saturday. He has enjoyed an average start to the season as he takes his 2-2-0 record and .915 SV% with him as he and the Jets host the St.Louis Blues Monday.

Hellebuyck will start Wednesday in Colorado.

Hellebuyck draws the difficult start Wednesday as the Jets head to Colorado to take on the Avalanche on the road in a Central Division battle. Hellebuyck had an outstanding 41 save (.976 SV%) winning effort in his first start of the season before struggling in a 4-1 loss to Dallas his previous time out. He will be looking for his second win of the early season Wednesday.

The Kings have placed Alex Iafallo (lower-body) on IR.

Iafallo suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's overtime win in Detroit. Moving him to IR means that he will miss at least seven days (three games). The Kings have not provided a timetable on how long he's expected to be sidelined. Look for Arthur Kaliyev to replace him in the lineup on Tuesday.

Skinner is expected to start Tuesday vs. the Sabres.

Skinner should draw his first start of the season Tuesday as the Oilers host the Sabres on home ice. The Edmonton native was phenomenal in relief of Jack Campbell Saturday stopping all 31 of 31 shots while limiting the damage in the Oilers' 4-3 loss to Calgary. He enjoyed a strong first rookie season in 2021-22, collecting a .913 SV% while winning six of 12 starts.

Hellebuyck will start Monday in Dallas.

Hellebuyck will draw his second start of the early season as Winnipeg heads to Dallas for a Central division matchup. The Jets' netminder was sensational in Winnipeg's opening night victory over the New York Rangers, stopping 40 of 41 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. He will look to keep his hot play going after finishing 2021-22 with a .910 SV%.
