Hellebuyck (undisclosed) will be between the pipes against Vancouver at home Tuesday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck returns to action after getting Monday's contest off entirely. It's been a rough run of games for the 27-year-old netminder as he is 1-6-0 with a 3.55 GAA in his last eight contests, not exactly the Vezina Trophy performance he put together in 2019-20. Even if Hellebuyck continues to falter, he likely won't face much in the way of competition for the starting job from Laurent Brossoit heading into the playoffs.

Hellebuyck (undisclosed) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Canucks, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Laurent Brossoit will get the start while Eric Comrie works as the backup. Coach Paul Maurice previously downplayed Hellebuyck's absence from Sunday's practice, but there will be some cause for alarm if the reigning Vezina Trophy winner isn't back in there for Tuesday's rematch.

Hellebuyck (undisclosed) isn't practicing Sunday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is likely just a routine maintenance day for Hellebuyck, who certainly needs to clear his head after going 1-7-0 in his last eight decisions. It's worth noting, however, that Hellebuyck took a knock to his blocker hand in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Senators. Coach Paul Maurice downplayed the idea of an injury, but Hellebuyck's status will still be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's clash with the Canucks.

Hellebuyck yielded three goals on 22 shots in a 4-2 loss to Ottawa on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The struggles continue for the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, who has just one victory in his last eight starts (1-7-0). Hellebuyck has allowed three-plus goals in six of those outings, while his record has dropped to 22-17-3. He still owns a respectable 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage and will try to get back on track Monday against Vancouver.

Hellebuyck will guard the home goal during Saturday's matchup with Ottawa, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was unbeatable in his last start Wednesday versus the Flames, stopping all 32 shots he faced en route to his 22nd win and third shutout of the year. The 27-year-old goaltender will try to pick up a second straight victory in a home matchup with a hot Senators squad that's gone 4-0-1 in its last five games.

Hellebuyck posted a 32-save shutout in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck had lost his last five decisions entering Wednesday, but the Flames weren't able to get anything past him. The 27-year-old has three shutouts in 42 games this season. He improved to 22-16-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .915 save percentage. The Jets' victory Wednesday clinched their playoff spot, so Hellebuyck may yield a game or two to Laurent Brossoit down the stretch.

Hellebuyck will guard the road goal during Wednesday's matchup with Calgary, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has struggled recently, suffering five straight losses while posting an ugly 4.40 GAA and .860 save percentage. The 27-year-old netminder will try to get back on track in a road matchup with a middling Flames offense that's averaging 3.13 goals per game at home this campaign, 15th in the NHL.

Hellebuyck will be between the pipes for Friday's road clash with Montreal, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has gone winless in five straight appearances during which he's posted an 0-4-0 record with a 4.49 GAA. At this point, Hellebuyck certainly won't be repeating as the Vezina Trophy winner and he'll need to figure out his game before the Jets enter the playoffs. Still, the 27-year-old netminder shouldn't face much in the way of a challenge for the starting role from backup Laurent Brossoit.

Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 27 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Oilers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck turned in his finest performance in a couple of weeks -- his breakaway stop on Kailer Yamamoto with less than three minutes remaining kept Winnipeg alive late in the game -- but it still resulted in his fifth straight loss. The good news is it was the first start since April 15 in which Hellebuyck held his opponent to fewer than three goals. He'll try to get back into the win column Friday in Montreal.

Hellebuyck will be between the pipes against Edmonton at home Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will be back in the crease after getting the hook versus Edmonton on Monday in which he gave up six goals on 23 shots. The defending Vezina Trophy winner is winless in his last four outings, posting a 0-3-0 record and 5.34 GAA. While the Jets figure to be a near-lock to make the postseason, they will likely face a quick exit if Hellebuyck can't get back to being a dominant netminder. A win over Edmonton on Wednesday could be a step in the right direction for the Michigan native.
