Hellebuyck made 24 saves in Team USA's 3-2 overtime loss to Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off Final on Thursday.
Hellebuyck performed well enough to win Thursday, and none of the goals were his fault. The first was a rocket from the mid-point that he didn't see due to the bodies in front of his cage. Sam Bennett then roofed the puck from in tight with a near-perfect shot, and Connor McDavid wired a high rocket from the slot in overtime. Hellebuyck finished the tournament with a 2-1-0 record, 1.59 GAA and .932 save percentage. Despite Thursday's loss in the title game, he was the best netminder at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
