Hellebuyck stopped 30 of 35 shots in Saturday's 7-5 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck endured his second straight rough start against the Oilers after he surrendered four goals on 24 shots in 40:00 of ice time Friday, but unlike that outing, the 29-year-old goaltender got enough offensive support to pick up the victory Saturday. He has a 27-19-2 record, 2.62 GAA and .919 save percentage in 48 contests this season. Hellebuyck is back in the win column after going 0-3-1 with a 4.76 GAA and an .853 save percentage over his previous four games.

Hellebuyck will be between the home pipes versus Edmonton on Saturday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will get a chance to redeem himself after he was pulled Friday versus the same Oilers. Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 24 shots in two periods of action before David Rittich came on in relief to start the third period. Hellebuyck is 0-3-1 in his last four starts, giving up 16 goals on 109 shots. Overall, Hellebuyck is 26-19-2 with a 2.57 GAA and .920 save percentage. The Oilers are the highest-scoring team in the NHL, averaging 3.86 goals per game, so this isn't an ideal spot for Hellebuyck.

Hellebuyck stopped 20 of 24 shots before being replaced by David Rittich to begin the third period of Friday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Rittich had no more luck slowing down Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and company than the Jets' starter did, but it was actually Kailer Yamamoto who was Hellebuyck's nemesis on the night, potting goals 40 seconds apart in the second frame to give the Oilers a 4-0 lead. Hellebuyck has slumped hard since the All-Star break, going 1-4-1 over his last six appearances with a 3.73 GAA and .894 save percentage, but as yet his spot as Winnipeg's No. 1 goalie doesn't seem to be in any jeopardy.

Hellebuyck will defend the visiting crease in Edmonton on Friday, Jets' play-by-play announcer Paul Edmonds reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck is 0-2-1 in his last three starts, having given up 12 goals on 85 shots over that span. The Oilers have scored 237 goals this season and playing against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will not help Hellebuyck's chances of breaking out of his mini-slump. Overall, Hellebuyck is 26-18-2 with a 2.52 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Hellebuyck will be between the home pipes against Los Angeles on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has lost three of his last four contests, in which he recorded a 3.04 GAA and .913 save percentage. The netminder's struggles led to him getting the night off versus the Islanders on Sunday. The refreshed Hellebuyck will look to get back to his winning ways -- he's got 26 victories in 45 games this year -- versus the Kings on Tuesday.

Hellebuyck stopped 21 of 26 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was pulled after two periods, and David Rittich stopped all 10 shots he faced in the third. It was a third loss in four outings for Hellebuyck, who has given up 11 goals over that span. The 29-year-old has done well to limit his struggles this season, but this rough stretch continues his dip from January, when he went 6-6-0 with a 2.75 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 12 games. He's still one of the top goalies for the season with a 26-18-1 record, a 2.46 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 45 starts, but he's been just okay lately. The Jets will look to get back on track Sunday versus the Islanders.

The Avalanche are 19th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.07 goals per game.

EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck started both halves of the Jets' back-to-back, and the Rangers didn't make it easy on him Monday.

Hellebuyck continues to be among the best goalies in the NHL this season with a 26-16-1 record, a 2.39 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 43 contests. The Jets' road trip ends Wednesday versus the Islanders.
