Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Cruises to first Olympic win
Rotowire
Hellebuyck turned aside 17 of 18 shots on net in the United States' 5-1 win over Latvia in Olympic round-robin play Thursday.
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 game while the United States' offense tallied four goals through the first two periods. His solid overall showing should lead him to more starts for Team USA 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 4 Nations Face-Off last year.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Starting versus Latvia
Rotowire
Hellebuyck will get the start in net for the United States versus Latvia at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Hellebuyck has struggled at times this season in the NHL, but the 32-year-old is regarded as the best goaltender in the NHL over the last four seasons. 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.
Hellebuyck stopped 22 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens, with Montreal's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Jets briefly held a 1-0 lead in the first period, but things unraveled quickly for the home squad once Oliver Kapanen beat Hellebuyck to a rebound and slotted it past the sprawling netminder before the first intermission. 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.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Back in loss category
Rotowire
Hellebuyck made 33 saves Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
Hellebuyck snapped a four-game winless streak in 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 that's out of fuel this season.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Snaps losing streak
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
The star netminder ended his four-game losing skid with a strong showing against the Devils, although he continues to post underwhelming numbers compared to his elite 2024-25 campaign. Hellebuyck has given up at least three goals in three of his last five outings, going 1-2-2 with a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Those are not bad numbers by any means, and the 32-year-old has a 2.70 GAA over the course of the season, but he's clearly taken a step back or two compared to last year. He should remain a player worth rostering every time he starts, though.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Takes shootout loss

Hellebuyck allowed a goal to Sam Bennett in the second period, and the Panthers also converted both of their shootout attempts.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Strong outing in loss
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 22 of 23 shots on net in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Blackhawks.
Despite allowing just one even-strength goal Monday, Hellebuyck was outdueled by the rising star Spencer Knight, who blanked Winnipeg's offense. With the narrow loss, Hellebuyck now has a 12-13-5 record, a 2.71 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 30 appearances this season. While the Jets' inconsistencies persist, Hellebuyck has continued to fight through the ups and downs. However, he's trending upward with a 3-1-1 record and a .905 save percentage across his last five games. Hellebuyck can still be a league-winning fantasy option in two-goalie formats, but his lack of wins and consistency issues have made 2025-26 substantially less impressive than his Vezina Trophy-winning regular seasons in 2023-24 and 2024-25.
