Connor Hellebuyck Will Get The Nod On Monday
7 years agoWinnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves on 35 shots in the loss against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Hellebuyck put forth a valiant effort against the Flyers, posting a .943 save percentage, but ultimately could not hold on in a close game. He has already made franchise history as the best goalie to dress for the Jets, going 3-1-0 with a 2.27 goals-against average and .938 save percentage in his last four starts. Hellebuyck will face the rocky but strong Washington Capitals and Philipp Grubauer, who has done an excellent job filling in for Braden Holtby. With the Jets in a playoff spot, head coach Paul Maurice will likely rest Hellebuyck as the Jets play four games this week. Look for Michael Hutchinson to start in net Tuesday, as Steve Mason is injured once again.
