Hellebuyck is slated to protect the home net against Minnesota on Saturday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Hellebuyck has gone 0-2-2 in his last four outings while allowing 11 goals on 105 shots. He has a 9-8-2 record this season with a 2.48 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 19 appearances. Minnesota sits 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this year.
Scheifele notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Scheifele helped out on both of Kyle Connor's goals in the contest. Over the last seven games, Scheifele has three goals and four assists while logging multiple points in three outings. He's up to 43 points (eight on the power play), 72 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 35 appearances as he continues to be a leader in the Jets' offense.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Scores, dishes seven hits
Rotowire
Barron recorded a goal and added seven hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Barron has been getting it done on both ends of the ice of late, earning points in five of his last six appearances and also delivering multiple hits in all but one game during that stretch. Barron has four goals in that six-game span, a pretty solid output considering he still plays in a bottom-six role. His hot streak could make him a viable streaming option in some formats, though his upside will remain fairly limited due to his role in the lineup.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Scores twice vs. Utah
Rotowire
Connor scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Connor sparked the Jets' comeback in this one, netting a power-play goal midway through the second period before scoring at even strength in the third. This two-goal performance also allowed Connor to end his seven-game goal drought, but even amid that rough stretch, the star winger has been one of the Jets' best players. He has 17 goals and 43 points across 35 games this season.

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.
Hellebuyck will start Sunday's road game against Utah, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Hellebuyck has made four starts since returning from a knee injury, but he's in the midst of a cold spell in which he's gone 0-2-1 with a 2.32 GAA and .916 save percentage over his last three outings. He made a home start against the Mammoth on Oct. 26 and turned aside 29 of 32 shots in a 3-2 loss.
Nyquist posted a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Nyquist had gone 10 games without a point, and he was scratched for four contests in that span. The 36-year-old winger's declining offense has been a poor fit for the Jets this year, and he may not be out of the woods for scratches if he can't find more consistency. He's logged just seven helpers with 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 25 outings.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Nets shortie in loss
Rotowire
Barron scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Barron has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The Jets have given him a middle-six role lately since he's one of the few forwards on the roster making a positive impact. His fantasy usefulness remains limited since he doesn't have a power-play job. Barron is up to six goals (two shorthanded), 11 points, 43 shots on net, 60 hits, 18 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 28 appearances this season.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Pots power-play tally
Rotowire
Scheifele scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Scheifele ended a four-game goal drought with his third-period tally. It was his first power-play contribution since Nov. 13 versus the Kraken. The center has remained fairly steady on offense, but he's one of the few Jets who that applies to recently. Scheifele is up to 17 goals, 41 points (seven on the power play), 71 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 34 appearances.

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.
Walton logged three assists in OHL Sudbury's 6-2 win over Guelph on Friday.
Walton has multiple points in five of six games in December, totaling four goals and nine assists this month. For the season, he's at 21 goals, 48 points, 179 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 28 appearances. He continues to be one of the better parts of a struggling Wolves team.

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.

Jets' Haydn Fleury: Set to play Friday
Rotowire
Fleury (concussion) is expected to be taken off injured reserve and play Friday in Colorado.
Fleury hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 11. He has no points, 11 shots, 22 hits and 26 blocks in 15 appearances this season. Fleury is projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Logan Stanley. Luke Schenn is set to be a healthy scratch after playing in Winnipeg's past six games.
Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Blues.
Hellebuyck did all he could to keep the game close, but the Jets' offense let him down. He's now 1-1-1 with five goals allowed on 82 shots over three games since returning from arthroscopic knee surgery. 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.
