Hellebuyck has been one of the best goalies in the NHL since he entered the League during the 2015-16 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2024-25, he had his best individual season, going 47-12-3 with a 2.00 GAA, .925 save percentage and eight shutouts in 63 games. He won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player, the\u00a0Vezina Trophy for the third time, and helped the Jets win the Presidents’ Trophy as the team with the League’s best record (56-22-4).<\/p>\n
Hellebuyck, 33, is entering the third season of a seven-year, $59.5 million contract ($8.5 million average annual value) he signed on Oct. 9, 2023.<\/p>\n
He has played his entire 11-season NHL career for Winnipeg, which selected him in the fifth round (No. 130) of the 2012 NHL Draft. Since entering the League, he leads goalies in games played (625) and starts (615), and is second in wins (345). Among goalies to play at least 300 games during that span, his .916 save percentage is third, and his 2.58 GAA is tied for seventh.<\/p>\n
Hellebuyck is one of four goalies, along with Dominik Hasek, Martin Brodeur and Patrick Roy, to win the Vezina Trophy at least three times (2019-20, 2023-24, 2024-25) since NHL general managers began voting on the award in 1981.<\/p>\n
The Jets signed goalie Stuart Skinner to a two-year, $7.5 million contract ($3.75 million AAV) on July 1. Their top goalie prospect, Domenic DiVincentiis, was 13-16-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .896 save percentage in 34 games with Manitoba of the American Hockey League last season. The 22-year-old has yet to play in the\u00a0NHL.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I appreciate everything Winnipeg Jets fans have meant to me throughout my career and hope a resolution can be reached soon,” Hellebuyck said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hellebuyck has been one of the best goalies in the NHL since he entered the League during the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-873945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
