Connor Hellebuyck Stops 40 of 43 Shots In Overtime Loss
7 years agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck had a solid night in the crease on Monday against the Capitals, turning aside 40 of 43 shots against in an overtime loss. Hellebuyck was beat twice by the NHL's leading goal scorer, Alex Ovechkin, and gave up the overtime winner to Evgeny Kuznetsov. Despite not earning the win, the Michigan native has been superb since the calendar flipped to March, having posted three wins, a 2.38 goals-against average and a .937 save percentage in five starts. Hellebuyck has undoubtedly entered the conversation to take home the Vezina trophy for the league's top goaltender. More importantly, his stellar play as of late is proving timely for fantasy owners wrapping up regular seasons and beginning playoff runs. Make sure to keep riding the hot hand.
