Really not much of a surprise that Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck was recognized by the NHL for what he accomplished last month.

From the NHL:

Hellebuyck, 31, began November with five straight wins, including back-to-back shutouts on Nov. 5 against the Utah Hockey Club and Nov. 7 versus the Colorado Avalanche. The Commerce, Mich. native also set the franchise record for the longest shutout streak between Nov. 3-12 when he went 191:47 without allowing a goal. Hellebuyck led the NHL with eight wins and two shutouts in November. He finished the month with an 8-2-0 record with two shutouts, a 2.10 goals-against average, and a .931 save percentage.

This is the second time Hellebuyck has won Player of the Month. He first got it (3rd Star) in December 2023. Kyle Connor was named 2nd Star of the Month last month and Patrik Laine (1st Star in November 2018).
