EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck made 20 saves Thursday in a 6-1 win by Team USA over Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

He surrendered the game's first goal on the Finn's second shot -- it was a fluttering shot that he missed, and it went over his right shoulder. He shook it off, and his teammates responded with six unanswered goals. Hellebuyck was his efficient, dominant self in the blue paint for the USA. He's the game's best netminder this season, and he made the win look easy. Next up is Team Canada on Saturday night.

Hellebuyck will guard the cage for Team USA against Finland on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck leads the NHL in games played (43), wins (34) and shutouts (six), so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the reigning Vezina Trophy winner getting the nod for the United States. With Canada likely the Americans' biggest competition in the 4 Nations Face-Off, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hellebucyk back between the pipes for Saturday's matchup -- though Jake Oettinger is certainly having a fantastic 2024-25 of his own.

Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck heads into his time with Team USA on a six-game winning streak in the NHL. He wasn't quite at his best Friday, but he got the job done. During his streak, the 31-year-old has allowed 14 goals on 163 shots (.914 save percentage). Hellebuyck is 34-7-2 with a 2.06 GAA, a .925 save percentage and six shutouts over 43 appearances as the favorite for another Vezina Trophy. Not only is he playing like the best goalie in the NHL, he's also got the best numbers in his career.

Hellebuyck will start at home versus the Islanders on Friday, Murat Ares of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck got a game off Tuesday, and he got to watch Eric Comrie put up a shutout win over the Hurricanes. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck will check back in for the Jets' last game prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, and that game against the Islanders will serve as a tune-up for Team USA's No. 1 goalie.

Hellebuyck turned aside 25 of 29 shots faced during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite losing a two-goal in the third period, Hellebuyck was victorious thanks to Josh Morrissey's game-winning goal less than two minutes into overtime. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck has won nine of his last 10 starts and is building a strong case to defend his Vezina Trophy title.

Hellebuyck is expected to start on the road against Washington on Saturday, per Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.

That's just the latest stretch of success during a fantastic campaign in which he's posted a 32-7-2 record, 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage in 41 appearances. The Capitals rank second in goals per game with 3.49.

Hellebuyck made 27 saves in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

An Elias Lindholm shorthanded tally just 11 seconds into the third period tied things up at 2-2, but Hellebuyck buckled down from there and watched his offense blow the game wide open. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has won four straight starts and eight of his last nine, posting a stellar 1.67 GAA and .932 save percentage over that stretch, and Hellebuyck ranks first in the NHL in GAA (2.00), save percentage (.927) and shutouts (six) while building a commanding lead with 32 wins, which is seven more than Jake Oettinger, who ranks second in wins.

Hellebuyck stopped 24 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck was caught flat-footed by Juraj Slafkovsky midway through the first period then shut the door. The goalie kicked off Winnipeg's three-game road trip with his third consecutive win and seventh in the last eight starts. Hellebuyck has allowed just 13 goals during that stretch. The effort improved his record to 31-7-2, lowered his goals against average to 2.00 and improved his save percentage to .927. The Jets continue on the road Thursday night in Boston.
