What It Means:

Hellebuyck has struggled in his sophomore season so far, going 18-15-1 through 36 starts. His .910 save percentage and 2.77 goals-against average are both steps back from last year's rookie campaign.

Our models project Hellebuyck for 28.3 saves, 3.0 goals against and a 44.0 percent chance of scoring a win against the Penguins tonight. He is our 10th-ranked goalie on the day's eight-game slate.
