Hellebuyck is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Saturday, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 30 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime win over Buffalo on Thursday, ending his three-game losing skid. He has a 16-5-0 record, 2.14 GAA and .927 save percentage in 21 outings this campaign. The Blackhawks rank 31st in goals per game with 2.42.
Hellebuyck made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres on Thursday.
The win snapped a three-game skid for Hellebuyck. He was entitled to a bit of a slow down, as he was 15-2-0 prior to that stretch. Hellebuyck remains the standard-bearer for fantasy greatness with a 2.14 GAA and .927 save percentage. He makes netminding seem easy and more than carries any fantasy squad he's on.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Starting in Buffalo
Rotowire
Hellebuyck is expected to serve as the starting goaltender during Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Hellebuyck continues to see plenty of playing time for the Jets early in the season, but he's taken losses in his last three starts, as Winnipeg scored just one goal in each of those games. During that stretch, he posted a 2.71 GAA and .914 save percentage, so there isn't too much cause for concern, especially since the Jets are still tied for fourth in the NHL with 3.65 goals per game.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Loses again Tuesday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blues. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck's losing streak is now at three games, though he's allowed just eight goals on 93 shots in that span. The Jets have given him exactly one goal of support in each of those losses -- of Hellebuyck's five defeats this year, he's received multiple goals of support just once. He's down to 15-5-0 with a 2.16 GAA and a .927 save percentage over 20 starts. Given he's played fairly well during the skid, the Jets have little reason to rest their starter -- expect him to be in goal Thursday against the Sabres.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Falls to Stars
Rotowire
Hellebuyck saved 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck gave up goals to Wyatt Johnston and Mason Marchment, and there was nothing he could have done on the latter's tally. Hellebuyck has now lost consecutive starts for the first time this season, though he's allowed just a combined five goals on 62 shots to the Kings and Stars. The 31-year-old is down to a 15-4-0 record with a 2.11 GAA and a .928 save percentage. He's first in the league in wins, two ahead of the goalie at the other end of the rink in Sunday's contest. Look for Hellebuyck to tend the twine again Tuesday at home versus the Blues.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Falls to Kings
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck had a fine effort, but the same can't be said for the team in front of him -- they mustered just 14 shots on net against David Rittich. This loss ended a three-game winning streak for Hellebuyck, who dropped to 15-3-0 on the year. He's added a 2.11 GAA and a .928 save percentage through 18 starts, and this setback shouldn't take the shine off his overall performance. The Jets have a couple more tough matchups on this road trip, as they visit the Golden Knights on Friday and the Stars on Sunday.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Superb in win over Wild
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 43 of 44 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
The Wild had plenty of pressure over the first two periods, but Hellebuyck limited the damage to Jacob Middleton's first-period marker.

Hellebuyck has won eight of his last nine starts, allowing one goal or fewer in five of those games. He's now at 15-2-0 with a 2.06 GAA and a .929 save percentage over 17 starts. He's been the best goalie in the league this season, and he just outplayed one of the few that has been anywhere close to him in Filip Gustavsson.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Solid in Friday's win
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 17 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
Hellebuyck wasn't particularly busy in this contest -- the 18 shots against were a season low. The 31-year-old's shutout bid was spoiled by Michael Bunting on a Penguins power play in the third period. Hellebuyck has won two straight starts and eight of his last nine outings. He's 14-2-0 with a 2.13 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 16 starts overall. The Jets play again Saturday in Nashville, and while it'll likely be an Eric Comrie start, there's at least a small chance Hellebuyck could go again after a light workload. This is the Jets' first back-to-back set of the season.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck will defend the home crease in Tuesday's home matchup against the Panthers, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Hellebuyck will make his 15th start of the season Tuesday -- he's posted a 12-2-0 record, .926 save percentage and 2.14 GAA. The two-time Vezina winner will have a chance to rebound in a rematch with the Panthers, a team he allowed five goals to in a loss Saturday. Hellebuyck has three more wins than any other goaltender in the NHL to this point.
Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Panthers.
Hellebuyck entered this game on a six-game winning run, but that streak was snapped abruptly by the defending Stanley Cup champions. The star goaltender, who's looking like an early favorite to win the Vezina Trophy, gave up goals in each period for a second straight outing. Still, one bad start won't erase his excellent performances over the last month-plus. He'll aim to bounce back Tuesday in a rematch against Florida.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Fueling team's success
Rotowire
Hellebuyck made 33 saves in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
The NHL hasn't seen a repeat Vezina winner since Martin Brodeur in 2007 and 2008, but Hellebuyck's start to 2024-25 already has people talking that way. He leads the NHL in wins (12), GAA (1.92) and save percentage (.934). Heading into Tuesday night, Hellebuyck was tied for fifth overall in high-danger saves (70) and was outperforming the Rangers' Igor Shesterkin in high-danger save percentage (.854 to .811). We'll withhold Hart talk, at least for now, but that could change if the Jets continue to build on their 15-1-0 start.

Hellebuyck will attempt to win his sixth game in a row against a Rangers club that's scored 49 goals through 13 games.
