Hellebuyck left Winnipeg's skate on Monday after he "wasn't feeling quite right" and will now have his status up in the air for Tuesday's preseason game in Minnesota. The 32-year-old reigning Vezina Trophy winner is coming off an impressive 47-12-3 season, with a 2.00 GAA and .925 SV%. If he is forced to miss any time, Eric Comrie will be expected to fill in.
Hellebuyck was perfect in Game 5, stopping all 22 shots he faced to keep Winnipeg alive in their 2nd-round series vs. Dallas and will take the crease again for Game 6 on Saturday. The 31-year-old superstar netminder has had an ugly postseason so far despite already posting two shutouts in 12 games played with his 3.18 GAA and .862 SV%. He will head to Dallas on Saturday for Game 6 and push to a second consecutive seven-game series for Winnipeg.
The Jets are coming off consecutive losses on the road and trail their series with the Dallas Stars 3-1, entering a must-win Game 5 on Thursday at home.

The 31-year-old netminder has a 3.48 GAA and .851 SV% in 11 games this postseason (5-6). The Jets enter Game 5 as -123 home favorites against the Stars.
Hellebuyck had a 21-save shutout in Game 2, but responded with a forgetful outing in Game 3, allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, as the Jets fell behind 2-1 in the series. The 31-year-old netminder, a two-time Vezina winner, has struggled in the postseason, showcasing an unimpressive 3.51 GAA and .848 SV% in 10 games (5-5). He has a 2.56 GAA and .918 SV% in 568 career regular season games (322-18-44) but only has a 2.96 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 career postseason games (23-32).

After struggling tremendously in the 1st round, Connor Hellebuyck bounced back in Game 7 by not allowing a goal for the final 56 minutes, as he led Winnipeg to a series win. The 31-year-old soon-to-be Vezina winner will re-take his place between the pipes for Game 1 on Wednesday vs. Dallas and will hope to build off his ugly 3.85 GAA and .830 SV%.

During the regular season, Hellebuyck was outstanding, a leading candidate for the Vezina trophy, posting an absurd 2.00 GAA and .925 SV% in 63 appearances (47-12-3). He allowed five goals in a game, never more, on three separate occasions. In his last two games this postseason (0-2), Hellebuyck has allowed 11 goals on 43 shots (.744 SV%). With the series tied 2-2, Hellebuyck hopes to exercise some playoff demons, returning to the crease for Game 5. The Jets enter the action on Wednesday as -176 home favorites against a Blues team that has outscored them 16-10 in the series.
Heading to St. Louis with a 2-0 series lead, Winnipeg will of course stick with the reigning Vezina Trophy winner between the pipes on Thursday.

The 31-year-old netminder finished the regular season with an astounding 47-12-3 record and a .925 SV%. Winnipeg enters action on Monday as sizable favourites at -190 on the money line.
The Jets have already clinched the Presidents' Trophy and will turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes for their final game this season. Hellebuyck struggled in his most recent outing, saving 28 of 32 shots (.875 SV%) in a 5-4 shootout win over the Chicago Blackhawks, but remains the odds-on favorite for the Vezina Trophy. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck has an outstanding 2.02 GAA and .924 SV% in 62 games this season (46-12-3). The Jets enter Wednesday's season finale as sizeable -272 home favorites against an Anaheim Ducks team that lost 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild in overtime last night.
