Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Receives start on back-to-back

Hellebuyck will patrol the crease for Sunday night's game in Edmonton, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Analysis:

Hellebuyck starts the second game of Winnipeg's back-to-back after making an appearance during Saturday's loss to the Flames. The goalie play has not been especially strong from either Jets' backstop this season, though Hellebuyck has certainly been the stronger option between he and Michael Hutchinson. The 23-year-old will face Connor McDavid and a vaunted Oilers offense that is scoring 2.97 goals per game.
