Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Defending cage against Edmonton

Hellebuyck will get the starting nod Thursday versus the Oilers, Jack Michaels of Oilers Radio Network reports.

Analysis:

Hellebuyck has won his last two outings following a four-game losing streak, and he'll look to keep the momentum going against Connor McDavid and company. Last time he faced Edmonton, the netminder allowed a trio of pucks to find the back of the net in a losing effort. The 23-year-old will be tested often by an Oilers squad that's fifth in the league in shots per game at 31.8.
