Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Fifth win in last six starts
Rotowire
Hellebuyck made 29 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning on Wednesday.
The usual snipers beat him, but on tough plays. Steven Stamkos wired a one-timer off a cross-ice pass from Nikita Kucherov on a late first-period power play that Hellebuyck couldn't reach. And then Brayden Point scored short side from the low slot in the second. Hellebuyck has won three in a row and five of his last six starts. He has allowed just fifteen goals in that span (.912 save percentage). Take away the first three starts of his season where he allowed 13 goals, and you will find that Hellebuyck has a .915 save percentage. That's the Connor we all know and love in fantasy.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Stuck with loss against Dallas
Rotowire
Hellebuyck stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
All of Dallas' scoring came in the second period, and Hellebuyck didn't look particularly sharp on either of the first two goals he allowed -- an even-strength tally by Thomas Harley that came after the netminder couldn't corral the rebound on a Jason Robertson shot, and then a shorthanded marker by Wyatt Johnston which beat Hellebuyck to his blocker side. Hellebuyck had little chance on Matt Duchene's power-play winner, however. The veteran netminder has recovered somewhat from a bumpy start to the season, and over his last eight starts, he's gone 5-2-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .910 save percentage.
