Hellebuyck gets the start in Jets' net

HELSINKI — Connor Hellebuyck is the Winnipeg Jets’ No. 1 guy, so the crease is his today.

Depending on workload and the Michigan product’s insistence, he could play Friday as well.

Hellebuyck gets the starting assignment when the Jets face the Florida Panthers in the first of back-to-back games at Hartwall Arena, site of the 2018 NHL Global Series.

“Connor’s going, and I don’t have a plan for (after) that because Connor likes to play a lot of games,” Jets head coach Paul Maurice told reporters following Wednesday’s practice.
