Analysis:
Hellebuyck was lobbying for a roster spot out of training camp, but evidently lost out to goalie Michael Hutchinson, who already has NHL regular-season experience on his resume. Last season, Hellebuyck stopped pucks for the St. John's IceCaps, recording a 2.58 GAA and .921 save percentage after 58 games.
