Cruises to first Olympic win Hellebuyck turned aside 17 of 18 shots on net in the United States' 5-1 win over Latvia in Olympic round-robin play Thursday.

Impact After a busy first period where Renars Krastenbergs scored Latvia's lone goal of the contest, Hellebuyck shut down Latvia for the remainder of the contest while the United States' offense tallied four goals through the first two periods. His solid overall showing should lead him to more starts for the Americans later in the Olympic tournament. While the 32-year-old netminder hasn't replicated the numbers from his Hart Trophy campaign through 36 games with Winnipeg this season, he picked up where he left off on the world stage after posting a 2-1-0 record, a 1.59 GAA and a .932 save percentage across three starts at the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.

He is 13-16-7 with a 2.79 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 36 contests with the Jets in 2025-26, after winning the Vezina Trophy the previous two seasons.

The three-time Vezina winner has just one win in his last eight starts, going 1-4-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .895 save percentage, and Hellebuyck will try to find his form in Milan while representing Team USA at the Olympics.

Falls to Dallas in OT Hellebuyck made 24 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact After a scoreless first period both offenses got busy, and there wasn't much Hellebuyck could do when Thomas Harley got sprung for a clean look on him in the extra frame. The 32-year-old netminder has just one win in his last seven starts, going 1-3-3 over that bumpy stretch with a 2.83 GAA and .901 save percentage.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Set to face Stars Hellebuyck is expected to start Monday's road game against Dallas, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Impact Eric Comrie is slated to get the start instead. Hellebuyck has a 13-15-6 record, 2.71 GAA and .902 save percentage in 34 appearances in 2025-26. It wouldn't be surprising if Hellebuyck gets back between the pipes Monday in Dallas.

Set to start Saturday Hellebuyck went through his starting routine Friday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports, signaling that he's slated to start Saturday's road game against the Panthers.

Impact Hellebuyck has struggled to enter the win column recently, going 1-3-2 with a 2.64 GAA and .909 save percentage over his last six starts. That stretch includes a Jan. 22 start at home against the Panthers in which he turned aside 19 of 20 shots (.950 save percentage) in a shootout loss.

Back in loss category Hellebuyck made 33 saves Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Hellebuyck snapped a four-game winless streak his last outing, and Thursday was a tough slog -- the Bolts are among the NHL's best teams and the Jets are one of the worst. Last season, Hellebuyck was the Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's best goalie. This season, he's 4-9-6 in his last 19 starts and 13-15-6 with a 2.71 GAA and .902 save percentage in 34 starts. Hellebuyck's ratios are above league average this season, which is a testament to his individual skill. But he's pushing a jet with fuel this season.
