He stopped 27 of 29 shots in a win his first start vs. the Blackhawks and they come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back, making Hellebuyck a solid option on a busy Thursday.

The 2019-20 season has been a roller coaster for Comrie. He was in training camp with the Jets but was claimed off of waivers by the Coyotes on October 1st, then traded to Detroit on November 30th. Comrie appeared in three games with Detroit (2 starts), going 0-2-0 with a 4.28 GAA and .864 SV% and was waived on Wednesday. Now he returns to the Jets where it all started.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Jets win over the Flyers on Sunday. In his last seven starts (+ 2 relief appearances) Hellebuyck has gone 6-1-1 with a 2.09 GAA, .934 SV% and one shutout, but draws a tough assignment with the Hurricanes in town. Carolina has won four of their last five (4-0-1) while scoring 3.60 goals per game.

DeMelo broke his finger late in Wednesday's game in Montreal and will be out until early-January. This is a huge blow for the Senators, who lose arguably their most consistent/reliable defenseman of 2019-20. Erik Brannstom could be summoned from the AHL to replace DeMelo.

Comrie stopped all four shots that he faced after replacing Jonathan Bernier in the Red Wings' loss to the Penguins on Saturday. Tonight he will make his first start with Detroit and it will come against the team that drafted him. Comrie is 4-0-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .900 SV% in four AHL games this season and the Jets have won eight of their last 11 (8-2-1) while scoring 3.27 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 33 shots in the Jets win over the Ducks on Sunday. Hellebuyck has been tremendous since mid-November, going 7-1-1 with a 1.95 GAA, .941 SV% and one shutout in his last 10 appearances (eight starts). Tonight he returns to his home state of Michigan to face a Red Wings team that has lost 12 in a row (0-10-2) and could be without three of their top-6 forwards. Hellebuyck is clearly the top goalie option on Thursday.

Hellebuyck stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Jets' shutout win in Anaheim last Friday. He was given Saturday night off but comes into Tuesday looking to build off of a tremendous month of November. He was 8-2-1 with a 1.85 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout last month and is now tied for the NHL lead in Wins (13), second in SV% (.933) and sixth in GAA (2.23) on the season. In his first two starts against the Stars this season, Hellebuyck is 1-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .905 SV%.

Comrie has not appeared in an NHL game this season but has gone 4-0-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .900 SV% in four AHL starts. With Jimmy Howard hurt, Comrie could join the Red Wings immediately and serve as Jonathan Bernier's backup.

Namestnikov missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play Friday in Minnesota. Namestnikov, who has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 22 games this season, will skate with Artem Anisimov and Connor Brown on the Senators' third-line.
