Hellebuyck stopped 17 of 18 shots in the USA's win over Latvia in their tournament opener. Hellebuyck sat for Game 2, but will be back in net for Sunday's game vs. Germany. Hellebuyck and the Americans are large favourites against the Germans.

Morrissey got hurt early in Canada's tournament opening win over the Czechs, and will miss their second game vs. Switzerland. Team Canada didn't provide much of an update on Morrissey's status, so it's unclear how many games he will miss. Travis Sanheim will draw into the lineup to replace Morrissey.

Morrissey played just 7:10 TOI before leaving Thursday's game vs. Czechia with an undisclosed injury. If Morrissey misses Friday's game vs. Switzerland, Travis Sanheim will dress as Canada's seventh defenseman. Shea Theodore will presumably take on a bigger role after starting Wednesday's game as the seventh blueliner.

It's been a bit of a disappointing season for Hellebuyck, who was so dominant in 2024-25. Through 36 games, he's 13-16-7 with a 2.79 GAA and .900 SV%, a far cry from the 2.01 GAA and .925 SV% we saw last season. Internationally, he's only appeared in the 4Nations tournament since 2018, and he was great for the Americans, going 2-1-0 with a 1.59 GAA and .932 SV%.

Hellebuyck's disappointing stretch continued on Monday, allowing four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck has allowed three or more goals in four straight (1-2-1) and has lost six of his last seven (1-3-3), posting a 2.87 GAA and .901 SV%. The Jets enter the action on Wednesday at even -105 odds at home against a Montreal Canadiens team with points in four straight games (3-0-1).


The consensus was that the Penguins were downgrading between the pipes when they traded Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers for Stuart Skinner, but Skinner has been terrific early in his tenure with his new team. The 27-year-old Skinner has wins in eight of his last nine games (8-1-0), posting a tremendous 2.02 GAA and .917 SV%. The Penguins enter the action on Tuesday with even -105 odds on the road against a New York Islanders team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).

Logan Thompson (upper body) is hopeful to return on Thursday, but with him and Charlie Lindgren (lower body) still sidelined, the Capitals will turn to Stevenson on consecutive nights. The 26-year-old Stevenson was terrific last night in his second start of the season, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. The Capitals enter Tuesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a reeling Philadelphia Flyers team that has just two wins in their last 10 games (2-6-2).

Hellebuyck will return to the crease on Monday against Jake Oettinger, who he hopes will be his understudy at the upcoming Winter Olympics. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was solid in his previous game, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%), but, as has been the case most of the season, the Jets still fell 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Dating back to his return from a knee procedure in mid-December, Hellebuyck is posting uncharacteristically concerning numbers: 2.90 GAA and .894 SV in 20 games (5-9-6). The Jets enter Monday's contest as +129 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that has won five of its last six games (5-1-0).

Rosen has spent the last six weeks in the AHL and will draw back into the Sabres lineup on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 22-year-old Rosen has seven points (3G / 4A) in 13 games with the Sabres this season. Konsta Helenius will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Rosen's return.

Logan Thompson (upper body) was back at practice on Monday, but has been ruled out of the team's next two games, targeting a return to the crease on Thursday. As such, third-string goalie Clay Stevenson will return to the crease on Monday against the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old Stevenson made his season debut on Saturday, his second-career NHL appearance, saving 19 of 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Capitals enter Monday's contest as -131 home favourites against an Islanders team whose three-game winning streak was snapped in a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
