The duo were part of the 4 Nations challenge team although the Jets sniper was a healthy scratch in the final game which Canada won in overtime.

It’s been a tough season for Hellebuyck from a health perspective after a knee procedure kept him out of Winnipeg’s lineup for three weeks.

They will be hoping to help the U.S. win Gold for the first time since 1980.
