Hellebuyck stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck won his fourth straight start, and this was the first time he's given up multiple goals. The Jets were more than able to lift their goalie when he was at less than his best. He's allowed just five goals on 105 shots so far. The reigning Vezina winner will get rest eventually, but it's unclear when that might happen since the Jets don't have a back-to-back over the next week. They wrap up a four-game homestand Sunday versus the Penguins.

Hellebuyck will be between the home pipes versus San Jose on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been stellar this season, winning all three starts while giving up only two goals on 83 shots (.976 save percentage). This comes after winning the Vezina Trophy in 2023-24. Hellebuyck should have little trouble Friday as the tired Sharks, who dropped a 4-2 decision in Chicago on Thursday, have only scored eight goals in four games this season.

Hellebuyck turned aside 26 of 27 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been nearly perfect to start the season, stopping a combined 81 of 83 shots through Winnipeg's first three contests for a .976 save percentage and a 0.66 GAA. The 2023-24 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't needed much offensive support over the last two games, as Winnipeg has four goals during that span. Hellebuyck's next chance to extend his win streak to four games will be against San Jose on Friday.

Hellebuyck will patrol the home crease Sunday against Minnesota, Carter Brooks of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has stopped 55 of 56 shots en route to a 2-0-0 record to start the 2024-25 campaign. He posted a 2-0-0 record versus the Wild during the 2023-24 regular season, allowing four goals on 63 shots.

Hellebuyck turned aside 25 of 26 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been close to perfect through the first two games of the season -- he's made a combined 55 saves on 56 shots. With Kaapo Kahkonen being claimed off waivers by Colorado on Friday, the goaltending picture is now clear for the Jets. Hellebuyck's backup will be Eric Comrie in 2024-25, barring any future transactions relating to the netminding position by Winnipeg. Hellebuyck's next chance to dominate between the pipes could come Sunday against Minnesota.

Hellebuyck is going through his usual routine and will defend the home crease versus Chicago on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck won the Vezina Trophy last season and was superb in his first start of the 2024-25 campaign, turning aside all 30 shots in a 6-0 romp over the Oilers. Hellebuyck will face the low-scoring Blackhawks in the Jets' home opener. The Blackhawks were 32nd in NHL scoring last season with 179 goals and started this season with only two goals in their Opening Night loss in Utah on Tuesday.

Hellebuyck posted a 30-save shutout in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was dialed in right away to begin the season, and his first win of the year was a shutout against a strong offense. The reigning Vezina winner has logged at least four shutouts in each of the last five seasons. He was away from the Jets earlier in the week to attend to a personal matter. The Jets begin a four-game homestand Friday versus the Blackhawks.
