Hellebuyck made 33 saves Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
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 that's out of fuel this season.
Hellebuyck will patrol the visiting crease in Tampa Bay on Thursday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Hellebuyck snapped a four-game winless streak Jan. 27 in a 4-3 win over New Jersey. Hellebuyck is 13-14-6 with a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 33 starts this season. He has yet to earn a shutout this season after picking up eight in 2024-25. The Lightning are second in NHL scoring this season, generating 3.45 goals per game.
Connor registered two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Connor had a hand in goals scored by Mark Scheifele and Gabriel Vilardi. Connor has gone five consecutive games without a goal, but he's picked up four assists in that span. For the season, the talented winger has 23 goals, 60 points, 168 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 52 appearances in a top-line role.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Puts away another goal
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal and added four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Koepke has scored in consecutive contests. The 27-year-old forward is up to five goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-1 rating over 36 appearances. He's on track to surpass his total of 17 points from 73 outings a year ago with the Bruins, though Koepke's fourth-line role with the Jets could lead to some uneven performances if the team's offense sours again.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Buries goal in win
Rotowire
Niederreiter scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Niederreiter has two goals over his last six outings. The 33-year-old winger has had some tough times this season, but he's getting back to chipping in depth offense in January. Overall, he has eight goals, 19 points, 70 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-3 rating across 51 appearances.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Two points Tuesday
Rotowire
Scheifele recorded a goal, an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Scheifele has recorded six multi-point performances over his last 11 games, but he has failed to crack the scoresheet in the other five contests. Even if the slight lack of consistency can be an issue for fantasy managers, he has done enough to deserve a roster spot across all formats. The 32-year-old center has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in that 11-game stretch.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Scores, assists in win
Rotowire
Vilardi recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Vilardi snapped a four-game scoreless skid with this two-point performance. He assisted on Mark Scheifele's goal in the early stages of the first period before adding a tally of his own in the second frame. Vilardi has 46 points (20 goals, 26 assists) this campaign. It marks his second consecutive regular season with at least 20 goals and 20 assists. If he stays healthy, he could surpass his career-best 61 points from 2024-25.

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.
Hellebuyck will guard the road goal against New Jersey on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Hellebuyck has gone 0-2-2 in his last four outings while allowing 10 goals on 110 shots. He has a 12-14-6 record this campaign with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 32 appearances. New Jersey is tied for 28th in the league with 2.60 goals per game this season.
Phillips was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Monday.
Phillips hasn't picked up a point in two NHL appearances this season while posting three shots on goal, one blocked shot and one hit. He will provide the Jets with a spare blueliner during the team's upcoming four-game road trip, which begins against New Jersey on Tuesday.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Beaten four times Saturday
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Red Wings. The remaining goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.
Hellebuyck was excellent in the first two periods, but the Red Wings scored four times in the final frame to put the game out of reach. Hellebuyck has been slumping of late and is currently on a four-game losing skid (0-2-2), but his peripheral stats are better than his record over that stretch with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage on 110 shots faced.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Pots goal vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Koepke opened the scoring for the Jets at the 10:08 mark of the second period with a backhander. The 27-year-old isn't known for his scoring prowess, however, as this was just his fourth goal of the campaign. That said, two of those four goals and four of his 10 points have come in January, so he seems to be heading in the right direction, even if his fantasy prospects remain limited across all formats.
Hellebuyck is expected to patrol the home crease against Detroit on Saturday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Despite allowing only six goals on 80 shots, Hellebuyck has gone 0-1-2 in his last three outings. He has a 12-13-6 record this campaign with a 2.65 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 31 appearances. Detroit is tied for 17th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this season.
Zhilkin spent just over two weeks with the Jets but appeared in only four games during that time, recording no points, four blocked shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating while averaging 8:14 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to garner playing time with the Moose.
