Hellebuyck is expected to guard the road goal against Ottawa on Saturday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Hellebuyck has lost his last seven outings while allowing 19 goals on 163 shots over that span. He has provided a 9-10-3 record this season with a 2.51 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 22 appearances. Ottawa ranks 10th in the league with 3.23 goals per game this campaign.
Hellebuyck stopped 17 of 19 shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Despite tending a clean final 45 minutes in Wednesday's contest, Hellebuyck would pick up the loss after he allowed two goals across a six-minute span in the first. With the loss, he now has a 9-10-3 overall record with a 2.51 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The losses have begun to snowball for the 32-year-old netminder, who is presently on a seven-game losing skid. The Jets' struggles shouldn't solely be attributed to Hellebuyck, as he has lost two one-score games where the team's offense has put together one goal or less. The reigning Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winner will likely need to turn in an MVP-level performance to help the Jets get back on the right track. He remains a must-roster player in all fantasy formats due to his high ceiling, but he and the Jets need to start turning in wins if he'll amount to the high pick that was likely used to select him in most leagues.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Allows pair of goals Monday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 20 shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck's struggles continued Monday, as he allowed two goals in the second period, which proved to be too large of a hole for Winnipeg's offense to climb out. With the loss, the 32-year-old netminder now has a 9-9-3 record with a 2.53 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. Since his return from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for just under a month, he has a 1-3-3 record and an .893 save percentage in seven contests. While he remains a solid option in all fantasy formats with the highest ceiling of any netminder in the NHL, expectations should be tempered in the meantime while he looks to find his groove. Hellebuyck's next opportunity to guard the crease is Wednesday in Detroit, which is the first half of a back-to-back.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Late collapse in OT loss
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 15 of 19 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
Despite tending a strong game through 59 minutes of Saturday's contest, Hellebuyck faltered down the stretch as he allowed two goals nearly 60 seconds apart between the end of regulation and overtime. The 32-year-old netminder is mired in a four-game losing streak, his longest since the 2023-24 season, which has dropped him to a 9-9-2 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 20 games this season. Regardless of his recent struggles, the reigning winner of the Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy still holds elite value across all fantasy formats with strong bounce-back appeal after posting 30-plus wins in each of the last three seasons. His next chance to find the win column is Monday against the Oilers.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Tagged with OT loss
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Hellebuyck has been in a slump of late, losing each of his last four starts (0-2-2) and posting a save percentage below .910 in three of those contests. The lack of offensive support has been the biggest issue for Hellebuyck, as the Jets have scored two or fewer goals in three of those losses. Since returning from injury, Hellebuyck has gone 1-2-2 with a 2.39 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Those are still solid fantasy numbers if you're able to withstand the losses.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Gives up three goals Friday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 26 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
A pair of first-period goals and a Parker Kelly tally in the third sent Hellebuyck to a third straight loss (0-2-1). The 32-year-old netminder is doing well to keep the defeats close, but the Jets continue to struggle with scoring enough to support him. Hellebuyck is down to 9-8-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 18 starts. The Jets' next game is Sunday in Utah. Fantasy managers who are chasing wins may want to explore trading Hellebuyck for a goalie on a more stable team, though he's unlikely to damage a roster's ratio stats.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Slated to start Friday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck was the first goalie off the ice during Friday's morning skate, indicating he'll be between the road pipes versus the Avalanche, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
Hellebuyck has allowed just five goals on 82 shots since returning from arthroscopic knee surgery. However, the Jets' poor offense in that span has limited him to a 1-1-1 record. Friday's matchup is a rough one, as the Avalanche have the best offense in the NHL by a wide margin, which make this a challenging situation for Hellebuyck.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Blues.

The 32-year-old netminder is at 9-7-1 on the year with a 2.36 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 17 appearances. Hellebuyck remains as steady as ever, but the Jets as a whole have taken a step back this year and may make it tough for him to reach the 30-win mark.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: First loss since return
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

After Monday's loss, the 32-year-old goalie has a 9-6-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 16 games this season. The reigning Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winner has helped the Jets pick up points in each of his two starts since his return from a knee injury.

Hellebuyck's next chance to guard the crease is Wednesday in St. Louis.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Sharp in return to crease
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
Making his return from a knee injury that had sidelined him since Nov. 15, Hellebuyck was back in Vezina form right away and took a shutout into the third period, only for Jakob Chychrun to blast a one-timer past him late in the frame. Hellebuyck is 9-6-0 in 15 starts on the season with a 2.41 GAA and .916 save percentage, and he should see a heavy workload right away, especially given Eric Comrie's 4.05 GAA in December.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Nearing return to action
Rotowire
Hellebuyck (knee) is "getting closer" to returning to action, according to head coach Scott Arniel, who wouldn't rule out the netminder playing against Washington at home Saturday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Hellebuyck appears to be well ahead of schedule, even if he isn't ready to suit up right away Saturday. Prior to getting hurt, the 32-year-old netminder was putting up pedestrian numbers by his standards, going 8-6-0 with a 2.51 GAA in 14 outings. Hellebuyck will need to seriously step up his game down the stretch if he is going to take home a third straight Vezina Trophy.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Hellebuyck (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
According to NHL.com, Hellebuyck underwent knee surgery Saturday and will be out of action for 4-6 weeks. He has posted a record of 8-6-0 this season with a 2.51 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 14 appearances. Eric Comrie will likely receive most of the starts for the Jets during Hellebuyck's absence, but Thomas Milic should see NHL action at some point. Moving Hellebuyck to the IR list opens a roster spot for Winnipeg to potentially recall a blueliner from AHL Manitoba after Neal Pionk (lower body) suffered an injury in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Minnesota.
