EDGE Analysis

Winnipeg's No. 1 netminder will start the game, but it's unclear how long Hellebuyck will play for. The two-time Vezina winner sported a record of 37-19-4 with a .921 save percentage and a 2.39 GAA in 60 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Eric Comrie and Kaapo Kahkonen are expected to compete for the backup role behind Hellebuyck this season.
