Hellebuyck will start in goal Tuesday against the visiting Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has gone 5-1-2 with a 1.61 GAA and .942 save percentage over eight games against the Avalanche. As a burgeoning goalie who wins more often than not (18-12-1 record), we like him on the 11-game daily slate.

Hellebuyck turned aside 26 shots in a 5-1 win over Dallas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a loss in his last start, Hellebuyck needed an outing like this one. The Jets' netminder has been rather shaky in his play of late, allowing three or more goals in seven of his last eight starts. Sunday's victory moves his record to 18-12-1 on the season.

Hellebuyck will draw the start for Sunday's matchup against the Stars, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck doesn't quite have the same magic that he did last season. He owns a mediocre .908 save percentage and 2.89 GAA after finishing second in Vezina voting last season. He's also lost four of his last six outings, but he's received one or fewer goals of support in three of those games.

Hellebuyck stopped 29 of 32 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Pittsburgh's final goal was scored into an empty net. Offensive support has been an issue for Hellebuyck lately -- the 25-year-old has allowed three goals or less in six straight starts, but he's only 2-4-0 in that stretch with the Jets scoring one or zero goals in all four losses. Winnipeg's roster is too talented for that trend to last much longer, so as long as Hellebuyck keeps delivering consistent performances, the wins should come.

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod for Friday's road clash with the Penguins, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck will face the difficult task of shutting down a Pittsburgh squad that is riding a seven-game winning streak, during which it is scoring four goals per game. Special teams will likely be the key to the netminder getting a win, as both teams are ranked in the top-five on the power play (Winnipeg 28.1 percent and Pittsburgh 27.0 percent).

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 24 shots in a 4-3 victory against the Oilers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old isn't having a great statistical season, but he continues to win games. He experienced the same type of deal Monday, posting an .875 save percentage during a loss. Hellebuyck recorded a save percentage of .900 or worse five times in December. He is 17-11-1 with a .908 save percentage and 2.88 GAA this season.

Hellebuyck will start Monday in Edmonton, Ted Wyman of The Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets' netminder has dropped his last two starts but gets set to face an Oilers team that's lost five straight while giving up 25 goals combined over those five defeats. Winnipeg is 7-3-0 in its last 10 and 11-6-0 away from home this season, so on paper, this should be the night Hellebuyck gets back in the win column.

Hellebuyck turned aside 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota's final goal came into an empty net. Hellebuyck's been in a bit of a rut to close out 2018 -- this performance was the first time in six games he allowed fewer than three goals, leaving the 25-year-old with a 2.88 GAA and .909 save percentage on the season.

Hellebuyck will guard the cage in Saturday's home game against the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was a little shaky in his last start, surrendering three goals on 28 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to the Flames on Thursday. The American netminder will look to bounce back and pick up his 17th victory of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a slumping Minnesota team that's lost five consecutive games.

Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Johnny Gaudreau had Hellebuyck's number Thursday night, scoring three goals on the Jets' netminder in what was only his third loss of December. Following the defeat, Winnipeg's starter now has a record of 16-10-1 with a 2.91 GAA and .909 save percentage. Hellebuyck's struggles are ongoing, as he's been unable to find the dominant form we've grown accustomed to seeing from the 25-year-old backstop.
