Connor Hellebuyck In Goal On Friday
6 years agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will take his usual spot in the crease in Friday's contest with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 25-year-old is fresh off a New Year's Eve win against the Oilers in which he stopped 21 of 24 shots against. A Vezina candidate last season, Hellebuyck hasn't quite been able to replicate his success last season. He's picked up 17 wins in 30 appearances but carries a 2.88 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage on the campaign. While fantasy owners should most likely start him, he's facing a dangerous Penguins offense that has average 4.8 goals-per-game over its past five contests.
