Hellebuyck turned aside 25 of 26 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against Chicago.
Hellebuyck has been close to perfect through the first two games of the season -- he's made a combined 55 saves on 56 shots. With Kaapo Kahkonen being claimed off waivers by Colorado on Friday, the goaltending picture is now clear for the Jets. Hellebuyck's backup will be Eric Comrie in 2024-25, barring any future transactions relating to the netminding position by Winnipeg. Hellebuyck's next chance to dominate between the pipes could come Sunday against Minnesota.
