Hellebuyck was pulled after he allowed four goals on 16 shots in the Jets’ loss in New York on Sunday. It was a rough outing for Hellebuyck, who will make his third consecutive start tonight vs. the Stars. Hellebuyck has a pedestrian .900 SV% in eight appearances this season, but his matchup makes him an interesting option on Tuesday—the banged up Stars are 18th in the NHL in scoring (2.58 G/PG).

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Jets loss to the Bruins on Monday. The Jets’ goalie rotation will continue, which means that Hellebuyck will start today’s outdoor game in Winnipeg. Hellebuyck is 1-1-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .863 SV% in his first two starts of the season. Hellebuyck will face the 4-1-0 Oilers, who are averaging 4.00 goals per game.
Pearson has served his four-game suspension (two preseason games, two regular season games) and is set to return to the lineup on Tuesday. The Kings are very thin upfront, so Pearson’s return is huge for their top-6. He had 15 goals and 21 assists (36 points) last year and should build off of that this season. Teddy Purcell will sit with Pearson coming back into the fold.
Hellebuyck gave up four goals on 27 shots in the Jets’ overtime win over the Hurricanes on Thursday. Michael Hutchinson started Saturday, but they will go back to Hellebuyck tonight vs. the Bruins. The Jets are the worst possession team in the NHL through two games, which doesn’t bode well for Hellebuyck on Monday.

Hellebuyck split last year between the NHL and the AHL and was impressive at both levels. While with Manitoba (AHL) he was 13-15-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .922 SV%. His numbers actually improved with the Jets, having gone 13-11-0 with a 2.34 GAA and .918 SV%. His promising future allowed the Jets to waive Ondrej Pavelec, who is now in Manitoba. The future in goal starts tonight vs. the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes should be better this year than they were last year, but Hellebuyck remains a solid option tonight.
Hellebuyck is the goalie of the future in Winnipeg and they know that, so that’s why the waived Ondrej Pavelec this afternoon and named Hellebuyck to the opening night roster. Hellebuyck had 13 wins with a 2.34 GAA and .918 SV% in his first NHL season and should serve as their No.1 netminder ahead of Michael Hutchinson this season. Hellebuyck gets a huge bump in goalie rankings following this latest development.
Pearson was suspended for the final two games of the preseason and the first two games of the regular season for his hit on Oilers’ defenseman Brandon Davidson. Pearson is set to be a key member of the Kings’ top-6, but they will be without him for the first two games.
Namestnikov, 23, appeared in 80 games in his first full NHL season, collecting a total of 14 goals and 21 assists (35 points). The 2011 27th overall pick has collected 51 career points (23G / 28A) in 127 NHL games and enters 2016-17 as a third line option for the Lightning.
Schenn, 26, started the 2015-16 season in Philadelphia before being traded to Los Angeles in the Vincent Lecavalier deal. Schenn finished the season with four goals and 12 assists (16 points) in 72 games. Schenn adds depth to the Coyotes’ blueline, where he will likely battle with Kevin Connauton for the last spot in the opening night lineup.
After a solid 2014-15 season, the Jets were expecting Lowry to take a step forward, but instead he took a step in the other direction. Lowry had just 17 points (7G / 10A) in 74 games with Winnipeg and four assists in four games with Manitoba (AHL). Lowry will try and bounce-back with the Jets this year.
Scheifele, 23, the former seventh overall pick (2011) is coming off of his best season as a professional, having collected 61 points (29G / 32A) in 71 games. The 6-foot-3 centre emerged as the Jets’ top-line centre and this extension will keep him in that role for many years to come. If Scheifele can stay healthy in 2016-17, he could approach the 70-point plateau.
