Game Preview

The Winnipeg Jets are off to their best start in franchise history at 3-0-0, thanks largely to Connor Hellebuyck’s stellar play. Hellebuyck, 31, leads the NHL with a .976 save percentage (81 saves on 83 shots) and will make his 500th career NHL start on "Hellebuyck Night" this Friday when the Jets face the San Jose Sharks.

The first 5,000 fans at Canada Life Centre will receive a Hellebuyck pennant and view his Vezina Trophy and William M. Jennings Trophy from last season. Hellebuyck, a fifth-round pick in 2012, is one of only 23 goalies to win multiple Vezina Trophies, accepting his second in 2024.

Hellebuyck has been outstanding this season, posting a shutout against the Oilers and back-to-back overtime victories over the Blackhawks and Wild. Jets captain Adam Lowry praised Hellebuyck’s consistent elite performance, calling the team fortunate to witness his greatness daily.

Meanwhile, the Sharks, winless in their first four games, are on the second leg of a back-to-back after losing 4-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. Coach Ryan Warsofsky emphasized the need for overall improvement as they look for their first win against the Jets.
