Devils GM Sunny Mehta explains decision to keep Connor Hellebuyck out of Tuesday’s game against Winnipeg Jets

Hellebuyck wanted to face his former team, but New Jersey management felt otherwise. He will speak to the media following Tuesday’s morning skate in Winnipeg.

Some shocking news this evening as the Devils released this statement from their GM ahead of the Jets and Devils game on Tuesday.

“This has been an organizational decision for us that we’ve debated at length. Connor Hellebuyck was adamant that he felt a duty to play on Tuesday in Winnipeg. However, in our estimation, playing in this game would potentially give us a reduction in our expected win probability. Even though Connor isn’t playing, at his request, we will coordinate a media availability after Tuesday’s morning skate at Canada Life Centre.”
