Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 19 Montreal shots before being replaced in the second period of Saturday's 7-1 loss.
EDGE Analysis
His postgame quote said it all: "I felt great out there, I thought the guys were good in front of me. So they had a good night, hats off to them. They took it to us tonight." Hellebuyck is a fine fantasy start; the Jets just got schooled Saturday night.

Hellebuyck will guard the road goal in Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been hanging on strong in the North Division, winning four of his last five starts while posting a .913 save percentage. Three of those wins came against the Canadiens, and he faced more than 35 shots in two of those contests. Hellebuyck should be busy again Saturday, especially with Canadiens winger Josh Anderson (lower body) expected to return to action.

Hellebuyck made 33 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck bounced back Thursday after a loss to Vancouver earlier in the week. But the Vezina winner hasn't been Vezina-like in the last couple weeks. While putting up a 5-2 record, Hellebuyck allowed three or more goals in six of those seven games. Fantasy manager with goalies in the North are finding out how hard it is to put up stellar ratios in that high-octane division.

Hellebuyck will defend the blue paint during Thursday's road matchup with Montreal, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck struggled in his last start Monday against Vancouver, surrendering three goals on just 18 shots en route to a 4-0 loss. The 27-year-old backstop will try to bounce back and snag his 11th win of the season in a road matchup with a Canadiens club that's averaging 3.24 goals per game this campaign, seventh in the NHL.

Hellebuyck stopped 15 of 18 shots in a 4-0 loss to Vancouver on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks jumped on Hellebuyck with two goals in 16 seconds midway through the first period, then added another later in the period to essentially put the game out of reach for Winnipeg. Hellebuyck's 15 saves represented a season low for the 27-year-old, who saw his brief three-game winning streak come to an end. Look for him to get the night off in Tuesday's rematch before returning to the net later in the week against Montreal.

Hellebuyck will tend the twine for Monday's matchup with Vancouver, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck is riding a three-game winning streak in which he posted a 2.32 GAA and .927 save percentage. The 27-year-old netminder has racked up 10 wins in 16 appearances and should be on pace to reach the 30-win mark for the fourth straight year, which would put him in the mix for the Vezina Trophy once again.

Hellebuyck turned aside 40 of 41 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was peppered with pucks throughout the game, but he put in one of his best performances of the season. In overtime, Paul Stastny scored to make Hellebuyck's effort worth it. The 27-year-old goalie improved to 10-5-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 16 games. He'll have a day off before the Jets host the Canucks in a back-to-back Monday and Tuesday.

Hellebuyck will defend the home goal in Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has given up three or more goals in four straight starts, however, he recorded an .892 save percentage and a 3-1-0 record in that stretch. Strong offensive support has been vital to Hellebuyck's fantasy upside. He may need it once again, as the Canadiens rank seventh in the league with 3.37 goals per game.

Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck wasn't at his best Thursday, but the Jets' offense made sure that wasn't a problem. Somewhat strangely, Hellebuyck has given up three or more goals in each of his last four outings. The 27-year-old improved to 9-5-1 with a 2.66 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 15 games this year. Fantasy managers have little option but to ride out Hellebuyck's struggles -- his heavy workload makes him a valuable player to roster. Another game versus the Canadiens is on tap for Saturday.

Hellebuyck will guard the home net in Thursday's game versus the Canadiens, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been outstanding in February with a .920 save percentage, but his 4-3-1 record is less appealing. The Canadiens are in flux right now, though, as they fired head coach Claude Julien after losing three straight. Nevertheless, the Habs still rank seventh in the league with 3.39 goals per game.
