Hellebuyck stopped 21 of 24 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Hellebuyck has won his last two starts despite allowing three goals each time, as the offense has provided him enough support. Hellebuyck remains a strong choice in all formats, but his recent outings haven't been the best -- at least for his lofty standards. He's posted a 3.00 GAA with a .901 save percentage while going 2-1-0 over his last three starts.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Beaten once in loss Thursday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to Seattle. The other two goals were empty-netters late in the third period.
Hellebuyck allowed five goals in the season-opening loss to the Stars, but he's been outstanding since then. He's allowed no more than one goal in each of his past three games, and he's surrendered no more than two markers in each of his last five starts. Through that prolific five-game stretch, the star netminder has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.40 GAA and a pristine .950 save percentage. The Jets are playing on the second leg of a back-to-back Friday, so Hellebuyck is expected to get some much-needed rest against the Flames. If that's the case, his next chance to suit up would come against Utah on Sunday.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 33 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Set to start Monday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck is slated to tend the twine on the road against the Flames on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Hellebuyck is riding a three-game winning streak, during which he has posted a 1.67 GAA and .938 save percentage. The three-time Vezina Trophy winner should be in the mix for another award at the end of the season, given he is in his usual regular-season dominant form. While his postseason lapses won't matter to fantasy managers, its certainly a concern for the fan base. For now, it seems its business as usual for Hellebuyck.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Slated to face Nashville
Rotowire
Hellebuyck is expected to start at home against Nashville on Saturday.
Hellebuyck has a 2-1-0 record, 3.02 GAA and .895 save percentage in three appearances this year. His GAA and save percentage look unappealing because of a season-opening 5-4 loss to Dallas on Oct. 9 in which he allowed five goals on 37 shots. Hellebuyck has held the competition to two goals in each of his past two starts. Nashville is 2-1-2 and is in a four-way tie for 20th in goals per game with 2.80 this year.

The Jets never trailed in the game, giving Hellebuyck plenty of leeway as he got beaten by Owen Tippett in the second period and Matvei Michkov in the third. Incredibly, it was Hellebuyck's first career win in Philadelphia in his fifth start at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Through three outings to begin the current campaign, the star netminder is 2-1-0 with a 3.02 GAA and an .895 save percentage -- those are ratios that will almost certainly improve once the reigning Vezina and Hart Trophy winner gets rolling.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Expected to face Philadelphia
Rotowire
Hellebuyck is set to guard the road goal in Thursday's clash against Philadelphia, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Hellebuyck opened the season by allowing five goals on 37 shots in a 5-4 loss to Dallas on Oct. 9, but he rebounded with a 30-save, 3-2 victory over LA on Saturday. There's a strong case to be made that he's the league's best goaltender after winning the Vezina Trophy following the 2023-24 and 2024-25 campaigns, so it's easy to shrug off his season-opening loss and expect great things from Hellebuyck this season.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 37 shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
The reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner failed to make a big impact in this season opener, allowing five goals en route to a loss. To put things into context, Hellebuyck allowed five or more goals just seven times throughout last year's regular season and playoffs. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Hellebuyck even if this wasn't the start of the season many hoped for. His next chance to play will come against the Kings on Saturday.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Exits playoffs with overtime loss
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.

The 31-year-old went 6-7 with a 3.08 GAA and an .866 save percentage over 13 playoff games. Hellebuyck was winless on the road in the postseason, which was a major factor in the Jets' second-round exit, though he remains one of the best regular-season goalies in the league.
