Hellebuyck is expected to be between the pipes for Wednesday's preseason clash with Edmonton, per Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck appeared in 45 games for the Jets last year, the most in the NHL, in which he posted a 24-17-3 record with a .916 save percentage. Over the previous five seasons, no netminder has played in more games than Hellebuyck (289), a trend that figures to continue into the 2021-22 campaign.

Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 42 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck did all he could to keep the game tied in the third period, but he surrendered the decisive goal 1:39 into overtime. After beating the Oilers in four straight games in the first round, Hellebuyck and the Jets were on the receiving end of a sweep in the second round. The Michigan native finished the playoffs with a .931 save percentage in eight contests.

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod for Game 4 in Montreal on Monday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck will look to end a three-game losing streak Monday to prevent the Jets from being swept. He's allowed four goals in two of the three games this series, including a 28-save loss in Game 3 on Sunday. Still, the 28-year-old owns a strong .931 save percentage and 2.14 GAA through seven postseason games.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 32 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has received four goals of support in three games versus the Canadiens, but he's also allowed nine goals. All told, the Jets face elimination in Monday's Game 4 after dropping three straight contests. Hellebuyck is likely to start the must-win game.

Hellebuyck will start Sunday's Game 3 in Montreal, J-F Chaumont of Journal de Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has dropped the first two games of this series after sweeping the Oilers, but he still has a 1.87 GAA and .940 save percentage through six games this postseason. He'll need to stay sharp to give his team a chance, as the Jets have struggled to generate offense on the other end and remain without leading point producer Mark Scheifele (suspension). Montreal got four pucks by Hellebuyck in Game 1 and needed just one goal against him to take Game 2.

Hellebuyck gave up a goal on 24 shots in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Canadiens in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

The goal Hellebuyck allowed was a shorthanded tally from Tyler Toffoli early in the second period. The 28-year-old goalie bounced back well Friday after allowing 11 goals in the last three games, but it wasn't enough. Hellebuyck remains the Jets' best option to earn wins, so he'll likely start again in Sunday's Game 3 in Montreal.

Hellebuyck will be stationed between the pipes for Friday's Game 2 matchup at home with Montreal, Chantal Machabee of RDS reports.

EDGE Analysis

After rattling off four straight wins against Edmonton in the first round, Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 32 shots and suffered his first postseason loss of the year in Game 1. He's still sporting a terrific .937 save percentage and 2.01 GAA through five playoff starts. The 28-year-old went 6-3-0 with a .916 save percentage against the Canadiens during the regular season.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 32 shots in Wednesday night's loss to the Canadiens in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a fabulous series against the Oilers, Hellebuyck had a tough first period in Game 1 against Montreal, allowing three goals on 12 shots. The tough night continued for the Michigan native as he allowed another goal on the power-play on a rebound in front by Brendan Gallagher. Although the loss wasn't solely on the 28-year-old as the team allowed multiple breakaways, if the Jets are going to win this series and advance to the third round, they're going to need Hellebuyck to step his game up to win Game 2 on Friday.

Hellebuyck will guard the home cage during Wednesday's Game 1 versus Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was spectacular in Winnipeg's first-round sweep of the Oilers, picking up four straight wins while posting an eye-popping 1.60 GAA and .950 save percentage. The 28-year-old backstop will attempt to remain unbeaten in the playoffs by picking up a fifth straight victory in a home matchup with a Canadiens club that averaged 2.00 goals per game in seven contests during its first-round win over Toronto.

Hellebuyck stopped 37 of 40 shots in Monday's 4-3 series clinching win over Edmonton in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

In the longest game in Jets franchise history, Hellebuyck battled in overtime, making fabulous saves to also solidify the franchise's first playoff sweep. The 28-year-old netminder was fantastic in the series, allowing just eight goals on 121 shots. The Jets and the 2019-20 Vezina winner will now wait to play either Montreal or Toronto in Round 2 after a dominant series against the Oilers.
