4 weeks agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced en route to defeating the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday evening. The Jets had a significant advantage in the shot total, but Hellebuyck was able to stand up when called on. His lone blemish came in the second frame when Thomas Chabot beat him with a wrist shot. This outing extended the team's record to an incredible 11 games and Hellebuyck's win record to eight games. During this eight-game stretch, the 31-year-old has held a strong .922 save percentage with a 1.99 GAA. He has only allowed three or more goals in two of these contests and allowed one or less in three. Fantasy managers should expect Eric Comrie to get the nod on the back-to-back contest on Thursday night, which sets up Hellebuyck to face the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday evening.

4 weeks agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will be in the crease for Wednesday's tilt against the Ottawa Senators.

The 31-year-old has performed exceptionally well throughout the campaign, posting a 35-7-1 record while allowing 2.04 goals. He has logged a .925 save percentage with six shutouts. Another winning effort is expected from Hellebuyck on Wednesday, as the Senators are on a four-game skid and lack firepower due to injuries. Hellebuyck saved 33 of 35 shots when these teams had their first meeting of the season, helping the Jets grab a 4-2 victory.
