Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck allowed a pair of goals in the first period before settling down and blanking the Bruins over the final two frames. However, the Jets couldn't crack Jeremy Swayman at the other end, as they'd ultimately fall 3-0. Hellebuyck falls to 29-21-2 with a .918 save percentage on the season. The 29-year-old Hellebuyck will likely be back between the pipes Saturday as Winnipeg will look to tighten their grip on a playoff spot in Nashville.

Hellebuyck made 44 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
He came up huge several times, especially in overtime, to keep the Jets in the contest. Hellebuyck has wobbled a bit in his last seven starts -- he is 2-4-1 with five games of four or more goals allowed. Right now, the Jets are six points up on Nashville for the last wild card spot, so Hellebuyck is going to need to be a strong to ensure the Jets hold onto their postseason dreams.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. Minnesota's fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the goals against Hellebuyck came in a wild second-period stretch; Minnesota scored at 7:06 of the middle frame to go up 2-0, the Jets answered 30 seconds later, then the Wild restored the two-goal lead 55 seconds after that. The panic button is glowing bright red in Winnipeg, as the Jets have gone 1-6-1 in their last eight games. Their lead over Calgary for the final Western Conference playoff spot has dwindled to four points, so any hopes of getting Hellebuyck some rest heading into the postseason have to be put on hold. He's tied for the league lead among goalies with 49 appearances, having gone 27-20-2.

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod at home versus the Wild on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has underwhelmed of late, having conceded four or more goals in four straight contests in which he's posted a 1-2-1 record and .844 save percentage. While the netminder's struggles could see a few extra starts going to David Rittich, the 29-year-old Hellebuyck would have to really go off the rails to be in danger of losing the starting gig.
