Hellebuyck is expected to be held out of Saturday's road game against St. Louis to give him some rest after participating in the 4 Nations Face-Off, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck made three starts for Team USA during the tournament, posting a 1.59 GAA and a .932 save percentage. He's been similarly excellent for Winnipeg in 2024-25 with a 34-7-2 record, 2.06 GAA and .925 save percentage in 43 outings. Eric Comrie is set to start Saturday, while Kaapo Kahkonen should serve as the backup. When Hellebuyck is ready to resume his regular duties, likely Monday versus San Jose, Kahkonen will presumably be returned to AHL Manitoba.

Hellebuyck made 24 saves in Team USA's 3-2 overtime loss to Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Fans are raging on the socials about Hellebuyck's play, but there's nothing to that chatter. He performed well enough to win, and none of the goals were his fault. The first was a rocket from the mid-point that Helly didn't see because of the bodies in front of his cage. Sam Bennett when roof from in tight with a near-perfect shot, and then Connor McDavid wired a high rocket from the slot. Hellebuyck finished the tournament with a 2-1-0 record, 1.59 GAA and .932 save percentage. He was clearly the best netminder at the 4 Nations.

Hellebuyck will be between the pipes versus Canada in the Final of the 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck won both of his previous starts in the tournament, including a 25-save performance Saturday against Canada. The 31-year-old netminder was rested for the last round-robin game while Jake Oettinger took the loss versus Sweden. Hellebuyck has allowed two goals on 47 shots in the tournament, and a similar performance would likely be enough for Team USA to come away with the win.

Hellebuyck made 25 saves in the United States' 3-1 win over Canada on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

The only goal that got past him came off the stick of Connor McDavid, who was flying at mach speed and roofed a backhand shot over Hellebuyck's glove in the first. Otherwise, he was perfect and kept the twine tent bricked up with some sharp saves against the Canadian snipers. Hellebuyck has the U.S. at the top of the tournament standings with six points (2-0-0-0), which guarantees them a berth in the championship game in Boston on Thursday.

Hellebuyck will defend the road net against Team Canada on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck is coming off a 20-save performance in Thursday's 6-1 win over Finland. With a regulation win over Canada, Team USA can clinch a spot in the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Hellebuyck made 20 saves Thursday in a 6-1 win by Team USA over Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

He surrendered the game's first goal on the Finn's second shot -- it was a fluttering shot that he missed, and it went over his right shoulder. He shook it off, and his teammates responded with six unanswered goals. Hellebuyck was his efficient, dominant self in the blue paint for the USA. He's the game's best netminder this season, and he made the win look easy. Next up is Team Canada on Saturday night.

Hellebuyck will guard the cage for Team USA against Finland on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck leads the NHL in games played (43), wins (34) and shutouts (six), so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the reigning Vezina Trophy winner getting the nod for the United States. With Canada likely the Americans' biggest competition in the 4 Nations Face-Off, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hellebucyk back between the pipes for Saturday's matchup -- though Jake Oettinger is certainly having a fantastic 2024-25 of his own.

Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck heads into his time with Team USA on a six-game winning streak in the NHL. He wasn't quite at his best Friday, but he got the job done. During his streak, the 31-year-old has allowed 14 goals on 163 shots (.914 save percentage). Hellebuyck is 34-7-2 with a 2.06 GAA, a .925 save percentage and six shutouts over 43 appearances as the favorite for another Vezina Trophy. Not only is he playing like the best goalie in the NHL, he's also got the best numbers in his career.

Hellebuyck will start at home versus the Islanders on Friday, Murat Ares of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck got a game off Tuesday, and he got to watch Eric Comrie put up a shutout win over the Hurricanes. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck will check back in for the Jets' last game prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, and that game against the Islanders will serve as a tune-up for Team USA's No. 1 goalie.

Hellebuyck turned aside 25 of 29 shots faced during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite losing a two-goal in the third period, Hellebuyck was victorious thanks to Josh Morrissey's game-winning goal less than two minutes into overtime. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck has won nine of his last 10 starts and is building a strong case to defend his Vezina Trophy title.
