EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck wasn't really tested much -- the Sens were meek most of the night. Josh Norris was the only guy to beat him. The win snapped a two-game losing streak and was his 23rd of the season (23-12-1).

Hellebuyck made 23 saves in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
He couldn't stop Auston Matthews, who scored eight seconds into the second when the sniper put the puck through Mark Scheifele's legs at the blue line, skated to the left circle and wired a shot five-hole. Matthews pushed it to 2-0 just a few minutes later with a rocket shot, blocker-side from the slot. Hellebuyck also surrendered a shorthanded goal to Mitch Marner on a 2-on-1 later in the same frame. He's been playing Vezina-quality hockey this year but has wobbled a bit this week, surrendering seven goals in his last two games (both losses). Hellebuyck will likely rebound quickly; this is just a speed bump in an otherwise excellent season.

EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck wasn't great in his last start Tuesday versus Montreal, surrendering four goals on only 28 shots en route to a 4-1 defeat. He'll try to return to the win column in a tough road matchup with a Toronto team that's 16-3-4 at home this year.

Hellebuyck turned aside 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
After a scoreless first period, Winnipeg actually struck first on a Kyle Connor tally 84 seconds into the second frame, but the game was all Montreal after that and the final score might have been even worse were it not for Hellebuyck's efforts. It's only the netminder's second loss in his last eight starts, and the two defeats are the only times during that stretch he's given up more than two goals. On the season, Hellebuyck sports a sharp 2.41 GAA and .924 save percentage.
