DALLAS (AP) — Connor Hellebuyck made his debut for the New Jersey Devils when the veteran goaltender started against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.
Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck made his New Jersey Devils debut on Tuesday night, starting in net against the Dallas Stars. The appearance came four days after the 33-year-old was traded from the Winnipeg Jets, following a suspension for failing to report to training camp. Prior to Tuesday's matchup, Hellebuyck had not played in an NHL game since April 13.
The three-time Vezina Trophy winner spent 11 seasons with Winnipeg before the trade. Hellebuyck, who has five seasons remaining on a seven-year contract with an $8.5 million annual cap hit, started opposite Dallas goaltender Casey DeSmith after completing only one practice and a morning skate with New Jersey.
