Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Will start Sunday

Hellebuyck will be in net Sunday against Nashville, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Analysis:

Hellebuyck has been in heavy rotation recently, starting 10 of the last 12 games for Winnipeg. In the three home games in that span, he's picked up a win in each, with a 1.30 goals against average and a .953 save percentage, so his matchup at home against the Predators could be a continuation of that streak. However, Nashville is in the top 10 in the NHL in both shots per game and goals per game, so Hellebuyck will be forced to earn his pay Sunday.
