Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Gets starting nod Thursday

Hellebuyck will be in goal against the Wild on Thursday, Ted Wyman of the WInnipeg Sun reports.

Analysis:

Hellebuyck will get his first on-ice action after being an unused substitute for Team North America at the World Cup. If the 23-year-old can live up to expectations, he could unseat Michael Hutchinson for the backup role and possibly even challenge Ondrej Pavelec for starting minutes. Fantasy owners with a roster spot to spare or in dynasty leagues will want to give Hellebuyck a second look toward the conclusion of training camp to see where he ends up.
