Hellebuyck, Jets blank Wild 1-0 behind Wheeler's goal

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- This was just the type of performance the Winnipeg Jets wanted.

The Minnesota Wild left town still looking for theirs.

Rookie Connor Hellebuyck became the first goalie to shut out the Wild this season, and the Jets used an early goal by Blake Wheeler to win 1-0 on Friday night.

"It was the perfect road game," Wheeler said.

Hellebuyck, who won his NHL debut at Minnesota on Nov. 27 with a 3-1 decision, made 24 saves. Detroit is now the only remaining NHL team that hasn't gone scoreless in a game this season.
