Hellebuyck was reassigned to the Manitoba Moose of the AHL on Friday.

Analysis:

With this move, the 22-year-old netminder is a victim of the CBA. Despite the fact that Hellebuyck has been far and away the best Jets goaltender this season, he doesn't require waivers to be sent down, unlike his fellow goaltenders Michael Hutchinson and the recently activated Ondrej Pavelec (knee). Having said that, head coach Paul Maurice gave the impression that Hellebuyck's time in the minors would be brief.
