Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was going for his fourth win in the month of February, but New York had other ideas and wound up firing four pucks by the Jets' netminder. A more favorable matchup with the Sharks comes Thursday, but it's not yet known who will serve as Winnipeg's starter for that contest. Hellebuyck's record now stands at 24-17-5.

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has given up two goals in each of his last four outings, which has seen him post a 3-0-1 record and .942 save percentage. The netminder figures to hit the 60-game mark before the end of the year and could league the lead in games played. With a playoff spot on the line, the Michigan native may only get the night off when the Jets have a back-to-back on the schedule.

Hellebuyck stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck gave up a pair of goals through the first 11 minutes, but settled in nicely and let the Jets' offense take care of the rest. The goalie has gone 3-0-1 in his last four starts. For the season, the 26-year-old is 24-16-5 with a 2.67 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 46 appearances. Hellebuyck will likely be back in the crease for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Hellebuyck has held his opponents to two goals in each of his first three starts since, putting together a stout .947 save percentage in that time.

Hellebuyck will patrol the blue paint versus St. Louis on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being left on the bench for two straight games, Hellebuyck appears to have rediscovered his game with a 1-0-1 record and .947 save percentage in his last two appearances. If the Jets are going to chase down a playoff spot, they will need the netminder to be near perfect down the stretch, which likely makes him a lock for the 60-game mark for the third straight year.

Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 36 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck can't be blamed for this defeat -- that is the fault of the Jets' offense for a poor showing against Predators goalie Juuse Saros. The loss dropped Hellebuyck to 2-3-1 over his last six starts, although he's allowed just two goals in each of his last two games. The Michigan native dropped to 22-16-5 with a 2.71 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 44 appearances. Expect a tougher test for Hellebuyck if he starts Thursday's road game in St. Louis.

Hellebuyck will defend the home net Tuesday versus the Predators, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck carried an ugly slump into the All-Star break, but he was back on track immediately afterward, steering away 38 of 40 shots against the Blues on Saturday. He's allowed exactly one goal in both starts against the Preds this year, but they come to town with a win in four of their last five road contests.

Hellebuyck made 38 saves in a 5-2 win over St. Louis on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first win in four games and the first time in that same span that he'd allowed fewer than four goals. Hellebuyck needs to be the best Jet on the ice in the next couple weeks if the Jets are to make the postseason. It's possible, but Hellebuyck will need some help from his teammates to pull that out.

Hellebuyck will defend the blue paint during Saturday's home game against St. Louis, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has struggled recently, suffering three straight losses while posting an ugly 5.31 GAA and .822 save percentage. The 26-year-old American will attempt to start righting the ship in a home clash with a Blues team that's 14-8-4 on the road this season.
