Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 27 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to Utah. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 2:05 left in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck entered this game having gone 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .957 save percentage over his previous four starts, so he was bound to experience some kind of regression sooner rather than later. Even the best netminders have poor outings from time to time, and the 31-year-old is still one of the league's top goaltenders with a 28-7-2 record, 2.02 GAA and .927 save percentage through 37 appearances. Fantasy managers should continue to trust him every time he's guarding the Jets crease.

Hellebuyck was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating that he'll defend the road crease against Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been on a hot streak recently, going 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .957 save percentage over his last four starts. He got the night off Saturday against Calgary but will return to the crease Monday against a favorable opponent, as Utah is averaging 2.82 goals per game this year, which ranks 24th in the NHL.

Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 19 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck had no margin for error in this one, but he kept it tied at 1-1 for 30 minutes before Dylan DeMelo scored with 27 seconds left in regulation. During his four-game winning streak, Hellebuyck has given up just four goals on 93 shots. He's up to 28-6-2 with a 1.97 GAA and a .929 save percentage over 36 starts. The Jets have often avoided having Hellebuyck start more than four games in a row -- if he gets the nod Saturday at home versus the Flames, that would be his fourth straight game between the pipes.

Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Kyle Connor had a natural hat trick in the first period, giving Hellebuyck more than enough support.

The 31-year-old goalie has won three straight games while allowing a total of three goals on 74 shots in that span. Overall, he improved to 27-6-2 with a 1.99 GAA and a .929 save percentage through 35 starts. The Jets' next game is at home versus the Kraken on Thursday.

Hellebuyck turned aside all 22 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old continues to build his case to be the NHL's first repeat winner of the Vezina Trophy since Martin Brodeur in the mid-2000's. Hellebuyck's six shutouts lead the league, as do his 26 wins, 2.02 GAA and .928 save percentage, and he's been even better over the last month, going 8-1-1 in his last 10 outings with a 1.80 GAA and .932 save percentage.

Hellebuyck will protect the home net against Colorado on Saturday, according to John Lu of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will get the second half of Winnipeg's back-to-back after Eric Comrie played in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck is coming off a 26-save performance in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Nashville. He has a 25-6-2 record with five shutouts, a 2.08 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. Colorado sits sixth in the league with 3.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

Hellebuyck, who went through his usual starting routine, won't be in goal against the Kings on Friday, though he figures to start Saturday's matchup with Colorado instead, John Lu of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck rarely takes the second of a back-to-back, but the coaching staff must want to deploy him against Central Division rivals Colorado. Since the calendar turned to 2025, the 31-year-old backstop has been relatively inconsistent, going 1-1-1 with a 2.98 GAA in his last three appearances, compared to December when Hellebuyck went 9-2-1 with a 1.82 GAA. Still, he remains one of the top netminders in the NHL and should be in contention for the Vezina Trophy once again.
