Hellebuyck will start in Detroit on Wednesday.

After suffering their first loss of the season on Monday, 6-4 at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Jets will attempt to return to the win column on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings with Hellebucyk back between the pipes. Hellebuyck is coming off his worst outing of the season, allowing five goals on 35 shots (.857 SV%), his first sub- .900 SV% appearance, but is still boasting an excellent 2.14 GAA and .925 SV% through seven games this season (6-1-0). The Jets enter the action on Wednesday as -143 road favorites against a Red Wings club averaging only 2.7 goals per game.

Kahkonen will make his Avalanche debut and start on Wednesday vs. Tampa Bay.

The 28-year-old Kahkonen had a poor 2023-24 campaign split between the San Jose Sharks and New Jersey Devils, posting a 3.64 GAA and .898 SV%, but, with the ongoing struggles of Alexandar Georgiev, gets the opportunity to play on Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 28-year-old Kahkonen was solid in a two-game conditioning stint with the Colorado Eagles (AHL), posting a 2.57 GAA and .919 SV% despite losing both contests. Colorado enters the action on Wednesday as a slight -106 home favorite against Tampa Bay.

Hellebuyck will start on Thursday in Seattle.

The Jets are the only team yet to lose this season (6-0-0) due in part to strong goaltending and will turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes again, his sixth start in seven games.

Kahkonen has not played a game in the AHL since the 2019-20 season. The 28-year-old Kahkonen had a poor 2023-24 campaign split between the San Jose Sharks and New Jersey Devils, posting a 3.64 GAA and .898 SV%, but could get an opportunity at the crease in Colorado if Georgiev and Annunen are unable to provide consistent efforts.
