Connor Hellebuyck launches his New Jersey tenure against a surging Dallas squad, seeking to reclaim his elite form after a blockbuster trade ended his record-breaking Winnipeg legacy.
Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is scheduled to make his season and team debut for the New Jersey Devils against the Dallas Stars. Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe announced that the newcomer will start Tuesday's game, marking Hellebuyck's first appearance since April 13, when he concluded his tenure with the Winnipeg Jets. He faces a Dallas team that enters the matchup riding a five-game winning streak.
New Jersey acquired the 33-year-old goaltender in a blockbuster trade that sent Dawson Mercer, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, Nico Daws, and two draft picks to Winnipeg. Hellebuyck, who departed the Jets as their franchise leader in multiple goaltending categories, holds a career 14-12-6 record against the Stars.
