Hellebuyck stopped 17 of 19 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over Utah.
This wasn't Hellebuyck's performance, but he was good enough to collect his sixth win in his last seven outings. Utah twice came from one-goal deficits before the Jets' second line put the game to rest in the third period. Hellebuyck is the first goalie in the league to 30 wins this season (30-7-2), and he's added sparkling numbers elsewhere with a 2.02 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 39 starts. Barring a lengthy losing streak, the 31-year-old has a good chance to surpass his career-high 44 wins from the 2017-18 campaign. The Jets' next game is Sunday at home versus Calgary.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Earns overtime win
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Hellebuyck allowed the tying goal to Cale Makar in the third period, but Neal Pionk replied with the game-winner 17 seconds into overtime.

He's now 29-7-2 with a 2.02 GAA and a .927 save percentage over 38 starts. The 31-year-old netminder has a good chance of challenging his career high of 44 wins from the 2017-18 campaign.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Tending twine versus Avalanche
Rotowire
Hellebuyck will protect the road goal versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, Murat Ares of The Athletic reports.
Hellebuyck saw his four-game winning streak end when he allowed four goals on 27 shots to Utah on Monday in a 5-2 loss. The 31-year-old will look to get back on track against the Avalanche, a team he shut out Jan. 11 with a 22-save performance, which was his league-leading sixth shutout of the campaign.
Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 27 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to Utah. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 2:05 left in the third period.
Hellebuyck entered this game having gone 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .957 save percentage over his previous four starts, so he was bound to experience some kind of regression sooner rather than later. Even the best netminders have poor outings from time to time, and the 31-year-old is still one of the league's top goaltenders with a 28-7-2 record, 2.02 GAA and .927 save percentage through 37 appearances. Fantasy managers should continue to trust him every time he's guarding the Jets crease.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Set to start against Utah
Rotowire
Hellebuyck was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating that he'll defend the road crease against Utah.
Hellebuyck has been on a hot streak recently, going 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .957 save percentage over his last four starts. He got the night off Saturday against Calgary but will return to the crease Monday against a favorable opponent, as Utah is averaging 2.82 goals per game this year, which ranks 24th in the NHL.
Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 19 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Hellebuyck had no margin for error in this one, but he kept it tied at 1-1 for 30 minutes before Dylan DeMelo scored with 27 seconds left in regulation. During his four-game winning streak, Hellebuyck has given up just four goals on 93 shots. He's up to 28-6-2 with a 1.97 GAA and a .929 save percentage over 36 starts. The Jets have often avoided having Hellebuyck start more than four games in a row -- if he gets the nod Saturday at home versus the Flames, that would be his fourth straight game between the pipes.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck will be in the home net Tuesday against Vancouver, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press relays.
Hellebuyck stopped all 22 shots that he faced in a 3-0 win over the Avalanche on Saturday, his sixth shutout of the campaign. The Canucks sit 19th in the NHL with 2.93 goals per game. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner has been stellar throughout his career against Vancouver, owning a 14-5-0 record, 1.90 GAA and .936 save percentage over 19 outings.
Hellebuyck turned aside all 22 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.
The 31-year-old continues to build his case to be the NHL's first repeat winner of the Vezina Trophy since Martin Brodeur in the mid-2000's. Hellebuyck's six shutouts lead the league, as do his 26 wins, 2.02 GAA and .928 save percentage, and he's been even better over the last month, going 8-1-1 in his last 10 outings with a 1.80 GAA and .932 save percentage.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Not starting after all
Rotowire
Hellebuyck, who went through his usual starting routine, won't be in goal against the Kings on Friday, though he figures to start Saturday's matchup with Colorado instead, John Lu of TSN reports.
Hellebuyck rarely takes the second of a back-to-back, but the coaching staff must want to deploy him against Central Division rivals Colorado. Since the calendar turned to 2025, the 31-year-old backstop has been relatively inconsistent, going 1-1-1 with a 2.98 GAA in his last three appearances, compared to December when Hellebuyck went 9-2-1 with a 1.82 GAA. Still, he remains one of the top netminders in the NHL and should be in contention for the Vezina Trophy once again.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Stumbles again Saturday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck has taken consecutive losses (0-1-1) for the first time since he dropped three straight games in regulation from Nov. 27 to Dec. 3. The 31-year-old was beaten twice on Detroit power plays, so it's not fully his fault. Even Vezina candidates will have rough patches, but it's a testament to Hellebuyck's skills and the team around him how infrequent those have been over the first half of 2024-25. Hellebuyck's 24-6-2 with a 2.09 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 32 outings this season. He'll look to get back on track Tuesday at home versus the Predators, whom he shut out last Monday with a 22-save performance.
