Hellebuyck didn't practice Thursday due to an unspecified illness, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
A more concrete timetable for Hellebuyck's return should be established once the Jets receive the results from his COVID-19 test. If Hellebuyck's unavailable, Eric Comrie or Mikhail Berdin will likely get the start in goal Friday against Chicago.

Hellebuyck will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Sharks, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will make his seventh start of the year after getting Thursday's game versus the Kings off. The 28-year-old sports a 3-2-1 record with a 3.67 GAA and an .891 save percentage through six games, although he's won his last three. It's a favorable matchup for Hellebuyck, as the Sharks are missing eight lineup regulars.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
While he wasn't particularly sharp Tuesday, Hellebuyck kept things close enough for the Jets to escape with a win after Nikolaj Ehlers scored twice in 19 seconds late in the third period. The 28-year-old Hellebuyck improved to 3-2-1 on the year, though his GAA (3.67) and save percentage (.891) remain rather poor by his standards. Tuesday was also the first game where the Jets didn't allow a power-play goal, killing off all three penalties they took. It's progress, something the Michigan native will look to carry over into Thursday's game against the Kings.

Hellebuyck will protect the road goal Tuesday versus the Ducks, Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will make his sixth straight start to open the season. He's split results in two games versus the Ducks already, allowing a combined five goals on 61 shots in those contests. The 28-year-old's heavy workload makes him a top option for fantasy managers, but he's struggled to a 3.80 GAA and an .886 save percentage in five games so far.

EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck and the Jets staved off a Nashville team that kept pushing after Winnipeg built a 3-1 lead early in the second period. The veteran netminder held on to win his second straight start after opening winless (0-2-1) in his first three. Unfortunately, it was the fourth time in five starts that Hellebuyck yielded four-plus goals, leaving him with a 3.80 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Hellebuyck is slated to start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus the Predators, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was razor sharp in his last start Thursday against Anaheim, stopping 38 of 39 shots en route to a convincing 5-1 win. The 28-year-old backstop will try to pick up a second straight win in a home matchup with a Nashville team that's off to a disappointing 1-3-0 start.
