Hellebuyck will patrol the road crease in Pittsburgh on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck is off to a great start, going 13-2-0 with a sparkling 2.20 GAA and a very impressive .923 save percentage. Hellebuyck is the early favorite for the Vezina Trophy as he tries to become the first netminder since Martin Brodeur in 2006-07 and 2007-08, to go back-to-back. He will face the Penguins, who are tallying 2.67 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck entered this game on a six-game winning run, but that streak was snapped abruptly by the defending Stanley Cup champions. The star goaltender, who's looking like an early favorite to win the Vezina Trophy, gave up goals in each period for a second straight outing. Still, one bad start won't erase his excellent performances over the last month-plus. He'll aim to bounce back Tuesday in a rematch against Florida.

Hellebuyck made 33 saves in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The NHL hasn't seen a repeat Vezina winner since Martin Brodeur in 2007 and 2008, but Hellebuyck's start to 2024-25 already has people talking that way. He leads the NHL in wins (12), GAA (1.92) and save percentage (.934). Heading into Tuesday night, Hellebuyck was tied for fifth overall in high-danger saves (70) and was outperforming the Rangers' Igor Shesterkin in high-danger save percentage (.854 to .811). We'll withhold Hart talk, at least for now, but that could change if the Jets continue to build on their 15-1-0 start.

Hellebuyck will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's road showdown with the Rangers, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will attempt to win his sixth game in a row against a Rangers club that's scored 49 goals through 13 games. The 31-year-old has been otherworldly this season, and he's allowed just one goal on 89 shots across his last three wins, two of which were shutouts. It's early in the campaign, but Hellebuyck is the clear early favorite to win the Vezina trophy -- the Michigan native is 11-1-0 with a .935 save percentage and 1.83 GAA through 12 appearances.

Hellebuyck is 11-1-0 with a 1.83 GAA, a .935 save percentage and three shutouts this season.
