Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck couldn't quite hold on in the last minute of regulation as Elias Pettersson tied the game at 3-3 on the power play. Hellebuyck was bailed out by Pierre-Luc Dubois just 27 seconds into overtime. The 27-year-old goalie improved to 8-5-1 with a 2.64 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 14 games. The Jets are off until Thursday when they host the Canadiens, which will likely see Hellebuyck draw another start.

Hellebuyck will defend the road net in Sunday's game against the Canucks, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets' defense has some serious weak spots, so Hellebuyck has been a bit inconsistent this year. Nevertheless, he's enjoyed a strong February, recording a .921 save percentage and a 3-3-1 record. The Canucks have a bevy of offensive playmakers, namely Quinn Hughes and Elias Petterson, but they rank 16th in the league with 2.90 goals per game.

Hellebuyck permitted three goals on 30 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers struck twice 21 seconds apart in the first period, setting the Jets behind. Despite Hellebuyck's decent effort, the Jets couldn't find an equalizer. The Michigan native dropped to 7-5-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 13 outings this year. Next up for Hellebuyck and the Jets is a two-game road trip in Vancouver on Friday and Sunday. He's made six straight starts, so there's an outside chance Laurent Brossoit could draw in for one of those road games.

Hellebuyck will defend the cage on the road against the Oilers on Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will be making his sixth straight appearance after going 3-2-0 with a 2.41 GAA in his last five outings. The Michigan native should continue to see a heavy workload this season while the Jets don't have a back-to-back on the schedule until March.

Hellebuyck surrendered five goals on 45 shots in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck faced nearly twice as many shots as the Oilers' tandem of Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen (45 to 24), so this result could have easily gone the other way. Sloppy ratios aside, Hellebuyck improved to 7-4-1 through 12 outings. His GAA rose to 2.58 while his save percentage slipped to .917 after the high-scoring outing. The Jets host the Oilers again Wednesday, and Hellebuyck will likely get the starting nod for a sixth straight game.

Hellebuyck will defend the cage versus Edmonton on Monday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will be making his fifth straight appearance in goal having posted a 2-2-0 record and 1.76 GAA in his last four outings. In his lone matchup with the Oilers this year, the 27-year-old netminder gave up four goals on 26 shots but still managed to secure a win.

Hellebuyck stopped 27 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
It looked like the Jets were going to collect at least one point from the afternoon contest, as Hellebuyck provided his usual steady performance, until Brady Tkachuk tipped home a point shot with 8.2 seconds left on the clock and gave the netminder no chance to react to the change in direction. Hellebuyck still has a sharp 2.36 GAA and .921 save percentage through 11 games, numbers comparable to or even better than his Vezina-winning ratios from last season.

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod at home versus Ottawa on Saturday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will be making his fourth consecutive appearance for the Jets, having gone 2-1-0 with a 1.68 GAA and .947 save percentage in his last three games. The Jets don't have any back-to-backs on their upcoming schedule, so it's not clear when Hellebuyck might get a night off in favor of Laurent Brossoit.

Hellebuyck stopped 41 of 42 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck's 41 saves were a season high, although the outcome was never really in doubt in this one. The Jets provided their netminder with a 3-0 lead through 40 minutes, and only a Joshua Norris rebound goal midway through the third period kept Hellebuyck from his first shutout of the season. The 27-year-old is 6-3-1 on the season and takes a 2.39 GAA and .920 save percentage into Saturday's rematch with Ottawa.

Hellebuyck will patrol the crease in Thursday's home contest against Ottawa, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Over his last six starts, Hellebuyck is 3-2-1 with a 2.81 GAA and an underwhelming .898 save percentage. However, a matchup with Ottawa's lethargic offense could be a good momentum boost for the 27-year-old. In two starts against the Senators this season, he allowed four goals on 50 shots and picked up a win in both contests.
