NEW YORK — Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been named the NHL’s first star of the week after reaching the 300-win mark.
Hellebuyck became the third-fastest goaltender in NHL history to reach the exclusive milestone when he made 26 saves, including 11 in the third period, in a 5-2 win over Nashville on Tuesday.
He followed that up with 22 saves in a 3-0 win over Colorado on Saturday as the Central Division-leading Jets improved to 29-12-3.
Hellebuyck, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL’s top goaltender, now has a league-leading six shutouts on the season, tying a franchise record he established in 2017-18 and matched in 2019-20.
