Hellebuyck made 36 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck turned in a spectacular performance Tuesday, highlighted by his crazy-good stop on David Pastrnak in the shootout. The win gives him 22 for the season and moves the Jets' netminder into a tie with Frederik Andersen for third in the league. At this point, it's hard to find a better option in net than Hellebuyck. So long as he's starting, the 25-year-old belongs in your starting lineup.

Hellebuyck will patrol the blue paint in Boston on Tuesday, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck had a fairly disappointing first half, posting a .910 save percentage and 2.85 GAA with a 21-14-1 record. He's also yet to record a shutout after notching six of them during his stellar 2017-18 campaign that earned him runner-up in Vezina voting. The 25-year-old is still an upper-level goaltender for Winnipeg and in all fantasy formats.

Hellebuyck turned aside 35 of 39 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder continues to see a lot of rubber. Hellebuyck has had to face at least 30 shots in five of seven January starts, posting a 4-3-0 record, 2.71 GAA and .917 save percentage on the month so far. He's capable of better, as he showed in 2017-18, but Hellebuyck is also capable of worse as he demonstrated through the first three months this season, so don't assume a big second half is on its way.

Hellebuyck will start in goal Saturday against the Stars in Dallas, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has notched four victories in his last five starts between the pipes, posting a 2.38 GAA and a .925 save percentage over that span. Hellebuyck's home and road splits sit fairly even, so the opposing venue shouldn't be a major cause for concern. Dallas also averages just 2.96 goals per game on home ice this season, ranking 24th in the NHL.

Hellebuyck made 37 saves in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Over his last 13 starts, Hellebuyck has allowed three or fewer goals just three times. Despite the struggles, he's posted an 8-5 record over that stretch and continues to benefit from Winnipeg's offensive prowess. His record following the win over the Preds is 21-13-1 with a 2.44 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Hellebuyck will tend the twine for Thursday's road clash with Nashville, Jason Bell of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has had middling success versus the Predators in his career, as he is 6-5-1 with a .908 save percentage and 3.18 GAA. The Michigan native has secured wins in three of his prior four outings, despite giving up three or more goals in all but one of those contests.

Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
He's now won four of his last six starts despite a less-than-impressive 2.82 GAA and .904 save percentage over that stretch. Hellebuyck's ratios remain off last season's pace, but tending net for the Western Conference leaders has its perks -- Sunday's win was his 20th, tying him for third in the NHL.

Hellebuyck will start in the home cage Sunday versus the Ducks, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks enter Winnipeg on a 10-game losing streak, scoring more than two goals in a game just twice in that span. Even before their skid, however, the Ducks were still in the cellar with just 2.57 goals per game. Hellebuyck has lost four of his last seven starts and registered an unappealing .904 save percentage in that span, but an encouraging matchup could help the 25-year-old right the ship.

Hellebuyck will tend the twine versus the Wild on the road Thursday, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has victories in three of his last four contests, along with a .911 save percentage. While the netminder has struggled for consistency much of the year, his 19 wins this season still ranks third in the league. When he does come out flat, like Tuesday's matchup with Colorado in which he gave up four goals, he fortunately has the offensive firepower behind him, as the Jets are scoring 3.45 goals per game and put up seven on the Avs.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 41 shots in a 7-4 victory against the Avalanche on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an up-and-down season for Hellebuyck, and he's experienced more downs as of late. Despite the win Tuesday, Hellebuyck has posted a save percentage above .917 just once in the last six games. During that stretch, he is 3-3-0 but owns a .909 save percentage. For the season, Hellebuyck has a respectable record -- 19-12-1 -- but his other numbers are quite a bit disappointing -- .909 save percentage and 2.86 GAA.
