Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
The Sharks showed some resilience against the Jets, but it wasn't enough.

The 31-year-old improved to 20-5-1 with a 2.15 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 26 starts. Eric Comrie figures to get the start Wednesday in Anaheim, but Hellebuyck should be back between the pipes for a huge Central Division showdown at home versus the Wild on Saturday.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck is expected to serve as the starting goaltender during Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

During that stretch, he posted a 2.71 GAA and .914 save percentage, so there isn't too much cause for concern, especially since the Jets are still tied for fourth in the NHL with 3.65 goals per game.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Loses again Tuesday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blues. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck's losing streak is now at three games, though he's allowed just eight goals on 93 shots in that span.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck saved 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

He's added a 2.11 GAA and a .928 save percentage through 18 starts, and this setback shouldn't take the shine off his overall performance.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Solid in Friday's win
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 17 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
Hellebuyck wasn't particularly busy in this contest -- the 18 shots against were a season low. The 31-year-old's shutout bid was spoiled by Michael Bunting on a Penguins power play in the third period. Hellebuyck has won two straight starts and eight of his last nine outings. He's 14-2-0 with a 2.13 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 16 starts overall. The Jets play again Saturday in Nashville, and while it'll likely be an Eric Comrie start, there's at least a small chance Hellebuyck could go again after a light workload. This is the Jets' first back-to-back set of the season.
