Connor HelleBuyck Getting A Breather Thursday
8 months agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is getting a rest on Thursday when the team takes on the hosting Dallas Stars. The American netminder has started eight of the last nine games but will give way to backup Laurent Brossoit on Thursday. Hellebuyck could be in line for his second career Vezina Trophy as he has posted a 2.42 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage across 58 appearances, going 35-19-4 in that time. Additionally, his 29.25 goals saved above average are by far the best in the NHL ahead of second-place Thatcher Demko and his 18.59 GSAA, according to Hockey Reference. For his part, Brossoit has posted a healthy 2.10 GAA and a .925 Sv% across 21 outings (20 starts), going 13-5-2 in that time.
