Hellebuyck Sharp vs. Blue Jackets
Connor Hellebuyck stopped 30 of 31 shots in Sunday’s 6-1 win over Columbus. Hellebuyck blanked the Blue Jackets through the first two periods before allowing a lone Brendan Gaunce goal 39 seconds into the third. It was an encouraging effort from the 30-year-old Hellebuyck, who had dropped two of his previous three starts while allowing nine goals on 98 shots. He improves to 31-15-3 with an excellent .922 save percentage and 2.31 GAA. Hellebuyck figures to be back in the crease Tuesday in a tough road matchup with the Rangers.
Shesterkin Closing in on 30 Wins
Igor Shesterkin stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday’s 5-2 win over the Islanders. Bo Horvat got two pucks past him, but otherwise Shesterkin was sharp once again as he bounced back from a rough start Thursday against the Lightning. In 13 starts since the All-Star break, the 28-year-old has gone 10-2-1 with a 1.92 GAA and .941 save percentage. He sits one victory short of his third straight 30-win campaign.
