Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Allows just two tallies in tough-luck loss

Hellebuyck saved 27 of 29 shots during Monday's loss to San Jose.

Analysis:

The third San Jose goal was scored on an empty net, but interestingly, Winnipeg then scored again with under a minute left to make it a 3-2 game. Hellebuyck has now saved 78 of 81 shots (.963 save percentage) through his past three starts and won twice. He's a risky start because the range of outcomes has been huge this season; however, this might be also be a sign of a strong finish from the 23-year-old netminder. Hellebuyck's future is bright, and the 2016-17 campaign might prove to be his worst fantasy showing for a long time. His keeper/dynasty owners should remain patient because Winnipeg has a nice core surrounding him for the long haul.
