Hellebuyck stopped 30 of 31 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck blanked the Blue Jackets through the first two periods before allowing a lone Brendan Gaunce 39 seconds into the third. It was an encouraging effort from the 30-year-old Hellebuyck who'd been struggling a bit recently, dropping two of his previous three starts while allowing nine goals on 98 shots. He improves to 31-15-3 with an excellent .922 save percentage and 2.31 GAA. Hellebuyck figures to be back in the crease Tuesday in a tough road matchup with the Rangers.

Hellebuyck made 34 saves in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now, while Hellebuyck is no longer one of the hottest goalies. He did shut out the Capitals on Monday, but the 30-year-old netminder has given up at least three goals in every other outing since Feb. 25, going 3-4-0 during that seven-start stretch with a 3.18 GAA and .902 save percentage. Jets coach Rick Bowness has hinted that backup Laurent Brossoit would begin to get more work, and Hellebuyck's recent numbers suggest he could use some extra rest ahead of the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has a 30-14-3 record, 2.30 GAA and .922 save percentage in 47 appearances this season. He's coming off a 23-save shutout victory over Washington on Monday. The Predators have won 10 of their last 12 contests, so they might be a challenging adversary for Hellebuyck.

Hellebuyck is set to guard the home cage against the Capitals on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been struggling of late with just one win in his last four outings while also giving up three or more goals in each of those contests. Despite the slump, the backstop remains in the mix for the Vezina Trophy at the end of the year. The Capitals have averaged 2.69 goals per game this season, ranking 29th in the NHL.

Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 37 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Three of those goals came in the first period, and while Hellebuyck settled in later, the Jets never really got their game going in the blowout loss. The 30-year-old goalie has lost three of his last four outings, and he's allowed three-plus goals in five straight contests. Hellebuyck is down to 29-14-3 with a 2.35 GAA and a .921 save percentage through 46 appearances this season. The Jets return home Monday to face the Capitals.

Hellebuyck will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Saturday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will get the second half of a back-to-back after Laurent Brossoit's shutout win over the Kraken on Friday. The 30-year-old Hellebuyck was shaking off an illness earlier in the week, but it looks like he'll be ready to go for a big Western Conference showdown. The Canucks have won four of their last six games, but they've scored just 14 goals in that span.

Hellebuyck (illness) is available for Friday's road game against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
It's not known if Hellebuyck will get the start Friday, but he'll at least be an option. Winnipeg will play Vancouver on Saturday, so if Hellebuyck doesn't start against the Kraken, then he should get the nod versus the Canucks. The 30-year-old goaltender has a 29-13-3 record, 2.29 GAA and .922 save percentage in 45 outings in 2023-24.
