Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck and Jacob Markstrom did their parts in the creases to keep things close. The difference was an Elias Lindholm power-play goal on a rebound that beat Hellebuyck late in the third period. The 27-year-old goalie dropped to 5-3-1 with a 2.55 GAA and a .911 save percentage through nine starts. A tough defeat aside, Hellebuyck has been a steady workhorse this year. He may not play both of the Jets' upcoming games against the Senators on Thursday and Saturday, as that's a matchup that would be favorable for backup Laurent Brossoit.

Hellebuyck will start Tuesday's contest against Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will look for win No. 6 on the season and hope to build upon his .913 save percentage and 2.48 GAA. He should be plenty rested, as the Jets last played Thursday -- a 4-1 victory, also against Calgary. In term's of the netminder's opposition in this one, the Flames currently sit 16th in the league with 2.91 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 24 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck allowed the opening goal in the final minute of the first period, but it was a net-front deflection by Andrew Mangiapane. Over the final 40 minutes, Hellebuyck was perfect. The 27-year-old goalie improved to 5-2-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .913 save percentage in eight appearances. The Jets are off until Tuesday, when they play one more game versus the Flames, this time on the road. It's likely Hellebuyck will get the nod for that one.

Hellebuyck will be between the pipes at home versus Calgary on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck hasn't been in peak form of late, as he is sporting a 3.20 GAA and .885 save percentage in his last four appearances, though he has still managed a 2-1-1 record. If Winnipeg is going to secure one of the four playoff spots in the North Division, it is going to need the 27-year-old netminder to regain his Vezina Trophy-winning form from last year.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kyle Connor spotted Hellebuyck a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the goalie couldn't make it stand. Hellebuyck then allowed tallies to Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau in the shootout to complete the collapse. The 27-year-old Hellebuyck dropped to 4-2-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .907 save percentage through seven starts. He's typically sat out the second half of back-to-back situations, so expect Laurent Brossoit in net for Tuesday's second of three straight games versus the Flames.

Hellebuyck will protect the home goal in Monday's game versus the Flames, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Compared to last year's phenomenal campaign, Hellebuyck has been a bit underwhelming, but he still sports a .910 save percentage and a 4-2-0 record to begin the new season. The Flames have a top-heavy offensive, but they've scored more than three goals in a game just once this season with a 3-3-1 record to boot.

Hellebuyck permitted three goals on 38 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Canucks on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the Jets having not played since Jan. 26, they were the more sluggish of the two teams, and Hellebuyck wasn't able to bail them out. He fell to 4-2-0 with a 2.67 GAA and a .910 save percentage across six starts this season. The 27-year-old goalie will turn his sights on the Flames, as they will meet in Winnipeg three times before a fourth game in Calgary. Expect Hellebuyck to get three starts in that span.

Hellebuyck will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck wasn't great in his last start Tuesday against the Oilers, surrendering four goals on just 26 shots, but he was still able to pick up his fourth victory of the season thanks to six goals of support from his teammates. The 27-year-old backstop will attempt to secure a fourth straight win in a home matchup with a hot Canucks club that's won three straight games.

Hellebuyck turned aside 22 of 26 shots Tuesday in a 6-4 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck and the Jets found themselves trailing 3-1 midway through the first period but settled things down nicely over the final 40 minutes. In fact, until Connor McDavid scored with 1:50 left in regulation, Hellebuyck was enjoying a perfect final two periods. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner improved to 4-1-0 on the year with a 2.60 GAA and .906 save percentage. He'll close out the Jets' week Saturday at Vancouver.

Hellebuyck will tend the twine for Tuesday's home matchup with Edmonton, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
In four outings this season, Hellebuyck has put himself in line to repeat as the Vezina Trophy winner, as he is 3-1-0 with a 2.25 GAA and .920 save percentage. In three clashes with the Oilers last year, the 27-year-old tender registered a .943 save percentage and 1.65 GAA and will look to continue to stymie Connor McDavid et al Tuesday.
