Hellebuyck stopped 19 of 25 shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blues in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was pulled midway through the third period after allowing the sixth goal to Alexei Toropchenko. This outing ended Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak. He's had middling performances in the playoffs so far, allowing 10 goals on 64 shots over three games. He'll look to get back on track in Sunday's Game 4 on the road.

Hellebuyck will start Thursday's Game 3 on the road versus the Blues, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has allowed four goals on 39 shots over the first two games of the series. He's won six consecutive contests dating back to an April 7 win over the Blues in the regular season. Hellebuyck will continue to be the backbone of the Jets' lineup, and he should give them a chance to be competitive every game.

Hellebuyck made 21 saves in Monday's 2-1 win over the Blues in Game 2 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The only puck to get past Hellebuyck came on a St. Louis power play late in the first period. The 31-year-old netminder is coming off the best regular season of his career with 47 wins, a 2.00 GAA and a .925 save percentage -- marks that ranked first, first and second in the NHL, respectively -- and Hellebuyck has carried that form right into the postseason. He'll look to put the Jets up 3-0 when the series shifts to St. Louis on Thursday for Game 3.

Hellebuyck is slated to start in Monday's Game 2 at home against the Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was stellar during the regular season but faltered slightly in Game 1 of the first-round series Saturday, allowing three goals on 17 shots (.824 save percentage). However, the Jets still secured a 5-3 victory, and Hellebuyck will have a chance to right the ship Monday.

Hellebuyck stopped 14 of 17 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck wasn't sharp early in this contest, allowing all three goals in the first 21:13 of the game. The Jets clamped down after that and played a strong third period, which included scoring three times to take the win. Despite the shaky performance, Hellebuyck has won five straight outings, including each of his last two wins over the Blues. Arguably the favorite for the Vezina Trophy this year, Hellebuyck will be between the pipes for the Jets for nearly every second of their playoff run.

Hellebuyck will protect the home net against St. Louis on Saturday in Game 1, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was outstanding during the 2024-25 regular season, posting a 47-12-3 record with eight shutouts, a 2.00 GAA and a .925 save percentage across 63 appearances. During that span, he went 2-1-0 versus the Blues, stopping 69 of 75 shots. St. Louis ranked 13th in the league with 3.05 goals per game in the 2024-25.

Hellebuyck made 30 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran goalie saw his shutout bid spoiled by Troy Terry early in the third period, but it was still an impressive final regular-season outing for Hellebuyck. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is the favorite to take home the hardware again after posting career-best numbers in wins (47), GAA (2.00) and save percentage (.925) in 2024-25, leading the NHL in the first two categories and sitting just a hair behind Anthony Stolarz's .926 save percentage in the third.

Hellebuyck was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has picked up wins in each of his last three starts, posting a 1.62 GAA and .931 save percentage during that time, a span that includes a shutout win over Dallas last Thursday. He made a home start against the Ducks on Jan. 2 and turned aside 20 of 24 shots (.833 save percentage) in an overtime loss.

Hellebuyck saved 28 of 32 shots on net in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's performance was out of character for Hellebuyck, who has allowed four goals or more just eight times across 62 appearances this season. He allowed both a shorthanded and power-play goal in the first period before he allowed two more tallies late in the third period. After Josh Morrissey tied the game to send it to overtime, Hellebuyck took care of business in the extra frame before stopping two attempts in the shootout en route to the victory. The 31-year-old netminder is up to a 46-12-3 record with a 2.02 GAA and a .924 save percentage this year. Hellebuyck is as close to a shoo-in for the Vezina Trophy as a goaltender can be as he is on pace to finish the season as the third netminder in NHL history to lead the league in wins, save percentage, GAA and shutouts. The real conversation picks up when discussing Hellebuyck's chances for the Hart Trophy. If he can bounce back and put together a few more quality starts to end the season, he has a real chance to take home both awards at the end of the season. However, his turnaround will be most important for the Jets to make a deep run in the postseason.

Hellebuyck will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Saturday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets are showing no mercy to the Blackhawks, as Hellebuyck will go in the first half of a back-to-back set that includes Sunday's home game versus the Oilers. Hellebuyck is 6-2-0 with a 1.63 GAA and a .930 save percentage over his last eight games. Remarkably, those numbers are better than his elite 1.99 GAA and .925 save percentage for the season.
