Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 33 shots in the Jets win over the Ducks on Sunday. Hellebuyck has been tremendous since mid-November, going 7-1-1 with a 1.95 GAA, .941 SV% and one shutout in his last 10 appearances (eight starts). Tonight he returns to his home state of Michigan to face a Red Wings team that has lost 12 in a row (0-10-2) and could be without three of their top-6 forwards. Hellebuyck is clearly the top goalie option on Thursday.
Hellebuyck stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Jets' shutout win in Anaheim last Friday. He was given Saturday night off but comes into Tuesday looking to build off of a tremendous month of November. He was 8-2-1 with a 1.85 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout last month and is now tied for the NHL lead in Wins (13), second in SV% (.933) and sixth in GAA (2.23) on the season. In his first two starts against the Stars this season, Hellebuyck is 1-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .905 SV%.
Comrie was originally a second-round pick of the Jets but was claimed off of waivers by the Coyotes during the preseason. Comrie has not appeared in an NHL game this season but has gone 4-0-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .900 SV% in four AHL starts. With Jimmy Howard hurt, Comrie could join the Red Wings immediately and serve as Jonathan Bernier's backup.
Namestnikov missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play Friday in Minnesota. Namestnikov, who has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 22 games this season, will skate with Artem Anisimov and Connor Brown on the Senators' third-line.
Hellebuyck stopped all five shots that he faced after replacing Laurent Brossoit in the Jets win over the Blue Jackets last Saturday. Hellebuyck has been dominant in November, going 6-2-1 while ranking 10th in GAA (2.18) and tied for fifth in SV% (.937). In his first start against San Jose, Hellebuyck stopped 51 of 53 shots in a 3-2 win (Nov.1).
Namestnikov suffered a lower-body injury early in Wednesday's game in Montreal and will miss at least two games and J.C. Beaudin was called up from Belleville (AHL) to replace him.
Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Jets win in Tampa Bay on Saturday. Hellebuyck has gone 4-1-1 with a 2.13 GAA and .937 SV% in November and will make his league-high 17th start of the season on Tuesday. The Jets are scoring a lot more on the road but also giving up a lot more offence, leading to Hellebuyck going 4-2-0 with a 3.28 GAA and .912 SV% in six road outings.
Miller was a surprising scratch for the last three games but will replace Marco Scandella on the blueline on Tuesday. Miller has struggled offensively in his first season with the Sabres, failing to score a goal on 28 shots with four assists in 17 games.
Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Jets loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday. The loss moved Hellebuyck to 3-1-1 with a 1.96 GAA and .942 SV% in five November starts and today he will make his 16th start of the season. He's had a tough time on the road, going 3-2-0 with a 3.35 GAA and .912 SV% in five games.
With Marco Scandella return from injury, the Sabres will scratch Miller against the Hurricanes. Miller has not recorded a point in the last nine games and has just four assists in 17 games this season.
Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Jets win over the Stars on Sunday. Hellebuyck has been absolutely outstanding in November, going 3-0-1 with a 1.47 GAA, .959 SV% and one shutout in four starts. He'll look to stay hot against an Avalanche team that has gone 2-3-1 without Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog.
Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Jets loss to the Devils on Tuesday. Hellebuyck has been one of the best goalies in the NHL so far this season and the reason that the Jets are hovering above the .500 mark (8-7-1). Tonight he faces a Canucks team that is on the second half of a back-to-back and comes in at 5-4-1 with 2.70 goals per game on the road.
