Hellebuyck turned aside 35 of 38 shots in a 5-3 preseason win over the Flames on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck is primed to start the season after his great effort Friday as the Jets were outshot 38-16. He was especially strong in the first two periods, stopping 27 of 29 shots. Look for Hellebuyck to get the home start when the Jets open the regular season Oct. 14 against the Rangers.

Hellebuyck will guard the road goal during Friday's preseason finale versus Calgary, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck will use Friday's contest as a final tune-up opportunity before presumably starting Winnipeg's regular-season opener against the Rangers next Friday. He'll be looking to bounce back after a somewhat disappointing 2021-22 campaign during which he went 29-27-10 while posting a 2.97 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 66 appearances.

Hellebuyck is expected to get the start in goal Saturday against the Oilers, per Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck is looking to regain his form after a tough 2021-22 campaign in which he went 29-27-10 with a 2.97 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He's a prime bounce-back candidate at his far more modest ADP in 2022-23.

Hellebuyck posted a career-worst 2.97 GAA in 66 games this season and failed to reach the 30-win mark for the second straight year.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck will no doubt be disappointed in his performance this season as he went 29-27-10 with four shutouts and a .910 save percentage in 66 outings. Even with his subpar numbers, the 28-year-old netminder should have still offered solid fantasy value in most formats considering he finished second in games played behind Juuse Saros.

Hellebuyck made 32 saves in a 3-1 win over the Flames on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthew Tkachuk was the only Flames player to beat him. After a disappointing year, Hellebuyck has back-to-back wins over the Flames and Avs, two of the league's best teams. His 2.97 GAA this season is the worst of his career and his .910 save percentage is the second-worst. Hellebuyck didn't just forget how to be excellent in goal, so expect a rebound in 2022-23, as long as the Jets effectively unpack some of their struggles from this season.

Hellebucyk will be between the pipes against Calgary at home Friday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck is currently sporting a career-worst 3.00 GAA and is unlikely to drastically improve upon that number. Unless he can secure victories in each of the Jets' final two contests, Hellebuyck will miss out on the 30-win threshold for the second straight year.

Hellebuyck allowed one goal on 31 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

It was a strong bounce-back effort from Hellebuyck, after allowing seven goals against Tampa Bay in his last start. The win was the 200th of Hellebuyck's seven-year career. He now has a 28-27-10 record with a .910 save percentage this season.

Hellebuyck (illness) will make his return Sunday with a start against the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck missed the previous two games due to an illness but will make his return to Winnipeg's crease Sunday. Think twice before reinserting him into fantasy lineups, though, as Hellebuyck will be faced with the unenviable task of trying to slow down a top-three Colorado offense that's averaging 3.81 goals per game.

Hellebuyck (illness) won't be available for Thursday's matchup with Carolina, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck will miss a second straight contest due to an illness. With Hellebuyck under the weather, Eric Comrie will start against the Hurricanes with Mikhail Berdin serving as his backup.

Hellebuyck (illness) will not be available for Tuesday's tilt with the Rangers, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was originally supposed to start Tuesday, but he's under the weather and won't dress for the contest. The 28-year-old is currently 27-27-10 with a .909 save percentage and a career-worst 3.03 GAA this season. Mikhail Berdin was recalled to back up Eric Comrie on Tuesday.
