Hellebuyck stopped 38 of 39 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The game was much closer than the score would indicate, and Hellebuyck didn't have the best rebound control. The 28-year-old was still able to turn in his best start of the year so far to get his first win in four games. The penalty kill was marginally better Thursday, allowing just one goal on three chances, but that situation has been the cause of most of Hellebuyck's struggles. He'll likely have a chance to build some momentum versus the Predators on Saturday.

Hellebuyck will protect the home goal Thursday versus the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck is 0-2-1 to begin the year, allowing 14 goals on 97 shots. The Ducks have scored 13 goals in their four games this season, so Hellebuyck could be tested a bit in this contest.

Hellebuyck surrendered six goals on 44 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck and the Jets led four separate times in the contest, but the Wild scored twice in the final five minutes of regulation and again in overtime to get the win. Taking penalties continues to haunt the Jets -- opponents have scored seven power-play goals in three games against them. That's not helping Hellebuyck much at all, as he's lost three straight games to begin the season. Next up is a home game versus the Ducks on Thursday.

Hellebuyck will guard the road cage during Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota, Murat Ares of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck wasn't great in his last start Saturday against San Jose, surrendering four goals on 31 shots en route to a 4-3 loss. The 28-year-old netminder will attempt to snap his two-game losing streak and pick up his first win of the season in a road matchup with a Wild team that's gone 2-0-0 to start the year.

Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets staked out a 2-0 lead early in the second period, but Hellebuyck allowed the Sharks to net a shorthanded goal and two power-play tallies to gain the lead. Rudolfs Balcers also scored at even strength, and that was enough to leave Hellebuyck with a second straight loss. The Jets' penalty kill has not been great to begin the season, as they've allowed four goals across two games in that situation. The 28-year-old goalie will have to make some improvements in his own game. The Jets' road trip ends Tuesday against the Wild, and it's likely Hellebuyck will get another starting nod.

Hellebuyck will patrol the road crease during Saturday's matchup with the Sharks, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck wasn't great in his season debut Wednesday against Anaheim, surrendering four goals on just 22 shots en route to a 4-1 loss. The 28-year-old backstop will attempt to bounce back and secure his first win of 2021-22 in a road matchup with a San Jose squad that averaged only 2.71 goals per game at home last campaign, 25th in the NHL.

Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

It was a season opener to forget for Hellebuyck, who allowed the Ducks to cash in on two of their power plays. The 28-year-old wasn't very sharp despite the limited traffic, but it's too early to be concerned about one performance. Hellebuyck logged a .916 save percentage in 45 games last year, and he should be back between the pipes for Saturday's road game in San Jose.

Hellebuyck will protect the road goal Wednesday versus the Ducks, Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett reports.

EDGE Analysis

It comes as no surprise that Hellebuyck will start the first game of the year for the Jets. He played in 45 of 56 contests last year with a 24-17-3 record, a 2.58 GAA and a .916 save percentage. The 28-year-old Michigan native figures to be a true workhorse in goal, so he should be expected to start most games for the Jets outside of back-to-back situations.

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod in Friday's preseason tilt with the Flames, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck will get one final tune-up game before the regular season begins on Oct. 13 against the Ducks. The 28-year-old has established himself as one of the most active goaltenders in the league over the last several seasons and that will be the case again during the 2021-22 campaign.

Hellebuyck will patrol the crease against Calgary at home Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck saw a solid regular season, in which he went 24-17-3 with a 2.58 GAA in 45 appearances, ruined by a playoff sweep at the hands of the Canadiens. In those four matches, the 28-year-old netminder recorded a .908 save percentage and 3.03 GAA. Hellebuyck will look to rebound early in the 2021-22 campaign and figures to be near the top of the leaderboard this year in games played, making him a top-end fantasy target.
