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.

What It Means:

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.
