Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.
Hellebuyck looked sharp through the first two periods as he allowed just one goal, but he eventually fell to Ottawa's late comeback effort in overtime. After Monday's loss, the 32-year-old goalie has a 9-6-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 16 games this season. The reigning Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winner has helped the Jets pick up points in each of his two starts since his return from a knee injury. Regardless of the loss in Monday's extra period, he remains an elite goaltending option in fantasy moving forward with one of the league's best save percentages. Hellebuyck's next chance to guard the crease is Wednesday in St. Louis.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Sharp in return to crease
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
Making his return from a knee injury that had sidelined him since Nov. 15, Hellebuyck was back in Vezina form right away and took a shutout into the third period, only for Jakob Chychrun to blast a one-timer past him late in the frame. Hellebuyck is 9-6-0 in 15 starts on the season with a 2.41 GAA and .916 save percentage, and he should see a heavy workload right away, especially given Eric Comrie's 4.05 GAA in December.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Nearing return to action
Rotowire
Hellebuyck (knee) is "getting closer" to returning to action, according to head coach Scott Arniel, who wouldn't rule out the netminder playing against Washington at home Saturday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Hellebuyck appears to be well ahead of schedule, even if he isn't ready to suit up right away Saturday. Prior to getting hurt, the 32-year-old netminder was putting up pedestrian numbers by his standards, going 8-6-0 with a 2.51 GAA in 14 outings. Hellebuyck will need to seriously step up his game down the stretch if he is going to take home a third straight Vezina Trophy.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Hellebuyck (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
According to NHL.com, Hellebuyck underwent knee surgery Saturday and will be out of action for 4-6 weeks. He has posted a record of 8-6-0 this season with a 2.51 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 14 appearances. Eric Comrie will likely receive most of the starts for the Jets during Hellebuyck's absence, but Thomas Milic should see NHL action at some point. Moving Hellebuyck to the IR list opens a roster spot for Winnipeg to potentially recall a blueliner from AHL Manitoba after Neal Pionk (lower body) suffered an injury in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Minnesota.

Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 13 of 17 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
The four goals against were the most Hellebuyck has allowed since he yielded five on Opening Night versus the Stars.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Between pipes Friday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck will guard the road goal in Friday's game versus the Sharks, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Falls to Kings
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Kings. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck did his part to keep the game close, but the Jets' offense was unusually quiet. The 32-year-old allowed a power-play goal to Kevin Fiala late in the third period that ended up making the deficit too large to overcome. Hellebuyck has lost three of his last five outings, but he's given up a modest 12 goals in that span. On the year, he has a 6-4-0 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .921 save percentage, which is right in the neighborhood of what his fantasy managers should expect. The Jets' west-coast road trip continues in San Jose on Friday.
