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.

Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
This was Hellebuyck's 300th career win -- he's the third-fastest to that mark in NHL history, doing so in 538 games. He's also seventh all-time in wins by an American-born goalie and two away from passing Mike Richter for sixth. This season, Hellebuyck is 25-6-2 with a 2.08 GAA and a .926 save percentage over a league-high 33 games played. He'll likely start one of the next two games as the Jets face a home back-to-back against the Kings on Friday and the Avalanche on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis
After closing out December with six consecutive wins, Hellebuyck is 0-1-1 and has allowed seven goals over two starts in January. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner will have a chance to rebound against a Nashville club that ranks last in the NHL with 2.45 goals per game.

Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has taken consecutive losses (0-1-1) for the first time since he dropped three straight games in regulation from Nov. 27 to Dec. 3. The 31-year-old was beaten twice on Detroit power plays, so it's not fully his fault. Even Vezina candidates will have rough patches, but it's a testament to Hellebuyck's skills and the team around him how infrequent those have been over the first half of 2024-25. He's 24-6-2 with as 2.09 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 32 outings this season. He'll look to get back on track Tuesday at home versus the Predators, who he shut out last Monday with a 22-save performance.

Hellebuyck stopped 20 of 24 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

His most recent defeat in regulation came in a 4-1 loss to the Blues on Dec. 3, but since then, the 31-year-old netminder has gone 9-0-2 with a 1.88 GAA and a .928 save percentage in his last 11 appearances.
