Winnipeg Jets trade Connor Hellebuyck to Devils: TSN

The deal ends months of speculation and gives New Jersey an elite starter while Winnipeg adds four players and two draft picks.

  • On Tuesday, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck made his New Jersey Devils debut, stopping 16 of 17 shots in a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.
  • Acquired from the Winnipeg Jets last week, Hellebuyck started despite missing training camp due to his holdout, demonstrating readiness after minimal practice time.
  • Captain Nico Hischier scored two goals, while Luke Hughes, Jack Hughes, and Jesper Boqvist also netted goals for the Devils' offensive outburst.
  • Head coach Sheldon Keefe praised Hellebuyck's performance, saying he appeared in "mid-season form" and had done the necessary work to be ready.
  • The Devils continue their three-game road trip by visiting the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, while Dallas hosts Montreal on Thursday.
