Hellebuyck made 24 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The reigning Vezina Trophy winner nabbed his eighth straight win as the Jets ran their team winning streak to a franchise-record 11, with a second-period tally by Thomas Chabot being the only thing between Hellebuyck and a new career high of seven shutouts on the season. During his personal winning streak, Hellebuyck has posted a stellar 1.99 GAA and .922 save percentage, and he leads the NHL in wins (36), GAA (2.02) and save percentage (.926) as he angles for a Triple Crown in addition to a Vezina repeat.

Hellebuyck is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has won his past seven starts, posting a 2.13 GAA and a .917 save percentage across that stretch. What's especially impressive is how unremarkable that stretch is when measured against his season overall. While this is the longest winning streak Hellebuyck's enjoyed in 2024-25, his recent GAA and save percentage are actually worse than his season-long marks of 2.04 and .925, respectively, across 44 outings. Ottawa ranks 22nd in goals per game with 2.79 and will be missing forwards Josh Norris (upper body), Shane Pinto (upper body) and Brady Tkachuk (lower body), so this is a favorable assignment for the netminder.

Hellebuyck stopped 17 shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
While he wasn't particularly busy, Hellebuyck came up big when he needed to, and the only puck to get past him came on a San Jose power play in the first period. The veteran netminder was still staring at his first regulation loss since Jan. 20 until Josh Morrissey rifled home the tying tally inside the final minute of the third period, and Mark Scheifele then secured Hellebuyck's league-leading 35th win of the season in OT -- an incredible eight victories ahead of second-place Jake Oettinger. During his current seven-start win streak, Hellebuyck has posted a 2.13 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

Hellebuyck is expected to get the starting nod against the Sharks at home Monday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will be back in action for the Jets for the first time since Feb. 7 versus the Islanders, though he played in three of Team USA's four games at the 4 Nations Face-Off. The schedule will ease the 31-year-old netminder back into it, as the Jets head into a back-to-back versus the Senators and Predators on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. That means Hellebuyck will likely split those games with Eric Comrie.

Hellebuyck (rest) is back at practice with the Jets on Sunday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck sat out Saturday's game following the 4 Nations Face-Off, but the 31-year-old netminder is back with Winnipeg on Sunday and figures to be in net Monday when the Jets host the Sharks. Hellebuyck, the current Vezina front-runner, is a stellar 34-7-2 with a .925 save percentage and a 2.06 GAA.

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.
