Connor Hellebuyck returns to Jets' net after six-game hiatus
Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been named the starter for Thursday night's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Hellebuyck hasn't played since January 13 after he gave up six goals on just 13 shots over a two-game span, leading to early hooks in both contests. He's sat out the past six games, but returns tonight against a Chicago team that he is 3-0-0 against this season, with a 0.67 goals-against average and .977 save percentage (86-of-88 blocked shots).
Hellebuyck is numberFire's 22nd-ranked fantasy goalie among Thursday's 26 starters. We project him for 26.0 saves, 2.7 goals against and a 31.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
