Hellebuyck turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Chicago.

The 30-year-old netminder sports a 2.49 GAA and .912 save percentage through 18 appearances, and given his heavy workload, Hellebuyck appears to have a shot at reaching 40 wins for the first time since 2017-18.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck made 29 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning on Wednesday.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Stuck with loss against Dallas
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
All of Dallas' scoring came in the second period, and Hellebuyck didn't look particularly sharp on either of the first two goals he allowed -- an even-strength tally by Thomas Harley that came after the netminder couldn't corral the rebound on a Jason Robertson shot, and then a shorthanded marker by Wyatt Johnston which beat Hellebuyck to his blocker side. Hellebuyck had little chance on Matt Duchene's power-play winner, however.
