For the third time this season Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been named an NHL Star of the Week. In mid October he was named Second Star, last month he was named First Star and today he got his second 1st Star of the Week award. And that's not a surprise given the number he's put up. From the NHL: Hellebuyck, 31, began the week with a 26-save win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday to become the third-fastest goaltender (538 games) to earn 300 NHL victories. On Saturday, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner stopped all 22 shots in Winnipeg’s 3-0 shutout win over the Colorado Avalanche. Hellebuyck reached six shutouts in 2024-25 to tie his own franchise record for most in a season. It was also his 43rd career shutout to tie Craig Anderson for the third-most shutouts by an American-born goaltender in NHL history. Hellebuyck finished the week 2-0-0 with a shutout, a 1.00 goals-against average and a .960 save percentage. He was also named 3rd Star of the Month this season back in November.
