Contrary to an earlier report, Hellebuyck will not start Tuesday's road game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Rather than Hellebuyck, the Jets will throw Eric Comrie between the pipes Tuesday. Hellebuyck is 2-4-1 with an unsightly 4.02 GAA in April. Assuming he's not dealing with an injury, the 28-year-old will likely get back to work Thursday against Carolina.

Hellebuyck will patrol the crease during Tuesday's road matchup with the Rangers, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has struggled recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Panthers and the Lightning while posting a disastrous 7.18 GAA and .810 save percentage. He'll try to get back on track in a tough road matchup with a Rangers team that's 25-8-4 at home this season.

Hellebuyck allowed seven goals on 32 shots in a 7-4 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday before being pulled in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets were actually up 4-2 by the mid-point of the second. But the wheels started to come off the plane shortly thereafter. Hellebuyck has given up 11 goals in two nights in games the Jets desperately needed to stay in the playoff hunt. They are now 10 points behind the Dallas Stars for the second wild card. April has been hard on Hellebuyck -- he is 2-4-1 in seven starts this month and he's given up 26 goals. It may be time to look elsewhere if he's weighing down your push to season's end.

Hellebuyck will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Lightning, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will start on back-to-back nights, though he was pulled from Friday's game versus the Panthers after allowing four goals on 26 shots. The Lightning are only a slightly easier opponent, so Hellebuyck remains a mid-range fantasy starter for this appearance.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 26 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was replaced by Eric Comrie after the second period. This was always going to be a tough matchup for Hellebuyck, though pulling him from this game could make him available to start Saturday against the Lightning. The Michigan native is at 27-26-10 with a 2.96 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 63 appearances. Five of the Jets' seven remaining games are against playoff teams, so their thin chances of qualifying the postseason aren't looking good.

Hellebuyck will guard the road cage during Friday's matchup with the Panthers, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was solid in his last start Monday against Montreal, stopping 23 of 25 shots en route to a 4-2 win. He'll try to extend his personal winning streak to three games in a rough road matchup with a scorching-hot Florida team that's won eight straight contests.

Hellebuyck and the Jets will not face the Kraken on Wednesday due to inclement weather, per the NHL.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebucyk has made five straight appearances for the club so the extra time off certainly won't hurt. Look for the 28-year-old netminder to get the start for at least one of the team's upcoming back-to-back contests versus Florida or Tampa Bay on Friday or Saturday, respectively, though with the additional time off it's not impossible Hellebuyck would play both ends.

Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck started and won both halves of the Jets' back-to-back set. He hasn't won three starts in a row since Dec. 19-Jan. 2, as the Jets' inconsistent play has limited his effectiveness in goal. The workhorse netminder is up to 27-25-10 with a 2.93 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 62 appearances. The Jets have a favorable matchup in their next game as they host the Kraken on Wednesday.

Hellebuyck will be stationed between the pipes in Montreal on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 34 shots in Sunday's win over Ottawa and now he'll get right back into action on the second half of the back-to-back. That win snapped a three-game losing streak where he allowed 10 combined goals. He's now 26-25-10 with a disappointing 2.94 GAA and .911 save percentage through 61 games this season. He allowed four goals in a win over the Canadiens on March 1.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators pushed back a bit in the third period, but Hellebuyck was able to make the Jets' lead last to the end. The 28-year-old snapped his three-game losing streak with the win. He's up to 26-25-10 with a 2.94 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 61 appearances. The American netminder should continue to see the bulk of the starts, though the Jets have virtually no margin for error left if they want to remain in the playoff race. They complete a road trip Monday in Montreal, which could be a start for Eric Comrie after Hellebuyck was kept fairly busy Sunday.
