Hellebuyck has been sensational lately and will likely return to the crease on Thursday after having the night off in the Jets' previous game on Monday. Posting a 5-2-0 record in his last seven games, Hellebuyck has one shutout and a stellar .942 SV%, allowing more than two goals in only one contest. The Jets are +119 road underdogs against their division rivals, the Colorado Avalanche, who will welcome Cale Makar back into the lineup.

Hellebuyck allowed a weak goal from Darnell Nurse late in the third period, ending his shutout bid in an eventual 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Despite losing two consecutive starts, Hellebuyck has been tremendous lately, allowing only 11 total goals in his last six games (4-2-0), posting a stellar .941 SV%. Hellebuyck will look to improve on those totals in a favourable matchup Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost seven of their last nine (2-7-0) and rank third-worst in the league offensively (2.57 GF / GP).
Hellebuyck played well in a goalie-duel on Tuesday but ultimately came up short, allowing two goals on 21 shots (.905 SV%), losing 2-0 to Jake Oettinger and the Dallas Stars. Despite his most recent loss, Hellebuyck has been on a different level lately, allowing two or fewer goals in each of his last four starts (3-1-0), recording a tremendous .948 SV%. That said, Hellebuyck and the Jets will have one of their tougher tests to date as +105 home underdogs against the Edmonton Oilers, who have won three straight and outscored their opposition 18-6.
Hellebuyck has been tremendous lately and will look for his fifth consecutive victory when he starts on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. After an uncharacteristically poor start to the season, registering a .890 SV% in his first nine games (5-3-1), Hellebuyck has flipped the switch and returned to his Vezina-caliber form, posting a .933 SV% in his six games since (5-1-0). The Jets are slight +109 home underdogs against a Stars team that defeated them 3-2 on November 11th.
Hellebuyck is coming off a stellar performance, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday. After a shaky start to the season, in which Hellebuyck posted a .890 SV% in nine games (5-3-0), he has looked more like himself recently with a .918 SV% in his last five games (4-1-0). The Jets will have their hands full on Friday as +124 road underdogs against a Florida Panthers team that is second in the Atlantic division and is 7-2-0 in their last nine games.

The Jets have won six of their last seven (6-1-0) due largely to Hellebuyck elevating his game recently. Still a far cry from his career-average .916 SV%, Hellebuyck has a .906 SV% in his last five games (4-1-0) after posting only a .891 SV% in his first eight contests this season (4-3-1). The Jets are slight -109 road favourites on Wednesday against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that, despite winning three straight, has allowed four or more goals in six consecutive contests (3-3-0).

Hellebuyck will start for the Jets on Friday, the front end of a back-to-back, likely serving as the backup to Laurent Brossoit on Saturday. As expected, Hellebuyck has been a workhorse for the Jets thus far, starting 12 of 15 games, but his performance has been somewhat out of character. Despite a strong 7-4-1 record, Hellebuyck is sporting a career-low GAA (2.99) and SV% (.892) but seems to be inching his way back on track, posting a .906 SV% in his last three contests (2-1-0). The Jets, who have won four of their last five (4-1-0), have a favourable matchup on Friday as -178 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that has been outscored 9-2 in their last two games (0-2-0) and will be without elite goal-scorer Tage Thompson.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 29 shots (.897 SV%) in the Jets most recent game on Saturday, a 3-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, and will attempt to get back into the win column as he is set to start against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. After finishing third in Vezina voting last season, posting a quality start in more than two-thirds of games (68.8%), Hellebuyck has struggled in the 2023-24 season, posting a career-worst 2.98 GAA and .892 SV%, only securing a quality start in approximately one-third of games (38.4%). That said, Hellebuyck and the Jets are -141 home favourites against a New Jersey Devils team that has lost three of four (1-3-0) and continues to be without Jack Hughes.
Hellebuyck will get his fourth consecutive start on Tuesday as the Winnipeg Jets are -137 road favourites against the St. Louis Blues. Hellebuyck is coming off a 22-save performance in which he allowed three goals in a 5-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. However, he has not been the dominant goalkeeper the league has become accustomed to over the years, posting a 3.08 GAA and .890 SV% through nine games (5-3-1) and has recorded a sub- .900 SV% in each of his last three outings (1-1-1). That said, he will look to regain his form against the low-scoring Blues, who rank 29th in the league offensively (2.40 GF / GP).

Hellebuyck has dropped his previous two contests after allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in his last start but will take the crease for Saturday's matinee vs. Arizona. The 30-year-old workhorse has struggled early on in 2023-24, with his 4-3-1 record, .891 SV% and 3.09 GAA. He will face the Arizona Coyotes, who have won two of their last three games and are 12th in the NHL in goals per game (3.3).
The Jets' workhorse goaltender will be between the pipes for the eighth time in 10 games on Thursday as he hopes to rebound from a 3-2 overtime loss at the hands of the New York Rangers on Monday. Hellebuyck has been somewhat inconsistent this season but has still managed a 4-2-1 record despite only three quality starts and a 2.96 GAA and .898 SV%. Hellebuyck and the Jets are +127 road underdogs against the Vegas Golden Knights, who are one of only two teams yet to lose in regulation (9-0-1).

Hellebuyck served as the backup for the Jets on Saturday for the second time this season as he watched Laurent Brossoit allow three goals on 29 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Hellebuyck started the season uncharacteristically with a .843 SV% in his first three games (1-2-0) but has looked more like himself in his three games since (3-0-0), recording a sparkling .948 SV%. The Jets are +109 home underdogs against a New York Rangers team that ranks 17th in the league offensively (3.13 GF/GP)
