The American goalie is up to 25-15-1 with a 2.41 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 41 starts. The Jets' next game is Tuesday versus the Kraken.

Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 26 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck and the Jets faced a 2-0 deficit early in the third period before turning things around for a comeback win. This was Hellebuyck's second win over his last seven outings, and just the third time in that span he's allowed two or fewer goals. The 29-year-old's rather rough January has taken a little bit of the shine off an otherwise strong season -- he's at 24-15-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 40 outings. His next appearance will be for the Central Division at the All-Star Game on Saturday.

Hellebuyck made 26 saves Saturday in a 4-0 loss to the Flyers. He was pulled after the fourth goal.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was relieved by David Rittich at 6:48 of the third after Tony DeAngelo went roof for a 4-0 lead. Hellebuyck was an island on his own in this game -- his teammates seemed disengaged and pretty much gave the Flyers a gift. It's Hellebuyck's third straight loss and fifth in his last six starts. He's allowed 16 goals over those five losses, but to be fair, the Jets have scored only five goals to support him across that span. Hellebuyck will be fine, but only if his teammates start showing up. They play again Monday against the Blues.

Hellebuyck will get the home crease versus Philadelphia on Saturday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck is having a fabulous season, going 23-14-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .924 save percentage. The talented netminder has lost his last two starts, but he can't be blamed, as he has given up five goals on 77 shots with the Jets scoring only three goals on his behalf. Hellebuyck faces the Flyers, who are 27th in the NHL in scoring, averaging 2.76 goals per game this season.
