Hellebuyck will tend the twine at home against the Flames on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has struggled to keep pucks out of the back of the net of late and is sporting a 3.47 GAA in his previous four outings. Thanks to his offense, however, the netminder still went 3-1-0 during that stretch. It was an early exit for the Michigan native last time he squared off with the Flames, as he was given the hook after allowing three goals on just nine shots.

Hellebuyck turned aside 41 of 44 shots Thursday, giving his team a strong performance in a 5-3 win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been hot and cold this season, but Thursday was a fantastic evening for the goaltender, as he saw a season high in shots but still managed to give his team a shot to claim the win. When Hellebuyck plays like this, the Jets are tough to beat and his owners reap some solid rewards.

Hellebuyck will patrol the crease for Thursday's road matchup with San Jose, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has been extremely inconsistent this season, as he followed up a three-game stretch in which he allowed just one goal per outing by conceding 11 goals in his last trio of starts. Considering the youngster is 5-5-0 with a 2.94 GAA as the visitor this year, fantasy owners may want to consider alternative options.

Hellebuyck stopped 27 of 30 shots Tuesday, but his team's normally potent attack disappeared in a 4-1 loss to Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
The thought was that Hellebuyck had gotten past his struggles with Edmonton and Tampa Bay, but this instance shows that's not the case. That said, Hellebuyck has shown himself to be a consistent performer on most nights, and he'd preceded Edmonton with three straight one-goal games. Bench him if you must, but keep him around for when he heats up again.

Hellebuyck will look to dethrone the Kings in Tuesday's clash, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Hellebuyck has given up four goals in each of his two previous outings, he was still able to walk away with victories, which gives him a 6-1-0 record in his previous seven outings. Being backed by one of the most potent offenses in the league (3.64 goals per game) allows the netminder some leeway when it comes to stopping pucks from crossing the goal line. Los Angeles is averaging a league-worst 2.18 goals, so it could be an easy night for the 25-year-old.

Hellebuyck will protect the home cage in Sunday's game versus the Lightning, Jason Bell of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck is having a strong December with wins in four of five games and an impressive 1.98 GAA to show for it. He'll need to harness a top-tier performance to reel in another win as the Lightning have won eight straight and averaged 5.1 goals per game in that span.

Hellebuyck made 22 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck was far less busy than Oilers netminder Cam Talbot, as Winnipeg held a 40-26 edge in shots. Edmonton scored three unanswered goals to take a 4-3 lead into the third period, but Winnipeg's high-powered offense was able to get Hellebuyck off the hook and push his record to 14-8-1. While the 25-year-old netminder hasn't been able to replicate last year's tremendous level, he's still providing solid value for owners, especially when it comes to the win column.

Hellebuyck will be in goal for Thursday's home matchup with Edmonton, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck has given up just one goal in each of his previous three outings, but will be going up against Connor McDavid, who has racked up 43 points in 30 games this year (fourth highest in the league). Fortunately for the netminder, and fantasy owners, he is backed by one of the best offenses in the league (3.53 goals per game).

Hellebuyck finished with 36 saves in a 7-1 win over Philadelphia on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers were the better team in the first period but only managed to score once on the Jets' netminder. Over the final two periods, Winnipeg scored five unanswered goals to run away with a win, giving Hellebuyck his 13th win of the season. With the Jets set to face the woeful Blackhawks on Tuesday, Paul Maurice could elect to rest his No. 1 netminder but make no mistake, the 25-year-old is unquestionably a top goalie in fantasy when he's playing.

Hellebuyck will start in the blue paint at home Sunday against the Flyers, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck took a tough loss the last time out despite allowing just one goal on 27 shots to the Blues. He will face a tough task as he looks to get back in the win column Saturday against a Flyers club notching 3.25 goals per game on the road this season.
