Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck put the Jets in position to gain some separation in the playoff race by going 4-2-0 with just 12 goals allowed in his previous six starts, but he failed to hold a 1-0 lead after the first intermission in this pivotal game. After Calgary's win in Winnipeg, these two teams are tied for the final playoff spot at 89 points. The Jets still control their own destiny thanks to a game in hand, and they will almost certainly roll exclusively with Hellebuyck in the crease for their final four games.

Hellebuyck made 23 saves in Friday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
He took a shutout into the third period, and Detroit didn't get on the board until Winnipeg was done with its scoring for the night. Hellebuyck hasn't allowed more than three goals in nine straight starts, going 5-4-0 with a 2.24 GAA and .912 save percentage, and he sits one win short of tying the career-high 34 he set in 2018-19. With the Jets fighting to hang onto a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, expect the 29-year-old netminder to see a heavy workload down the stretch.
