Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 37 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has allowed exactly four goals in each of his last five outings, yet he's managed a 2-2-1 record in that span. The offense didn't bail him out Friday. He's down to a 19-21-9 record with a 2.99 GAA and a .908 save percentage while playing a league-high 49 games. The American netminder has probably been overworked a bit, and his recent slump in play makes him a risky option should he start Sunday versus the Blues.
