Jets call up Hellebuyck after Pavelec injured by Doan hit

The Winnipeg Jets announced this morning that they have called up goaltender Connor Hellebuyck from the AHL’s Manitoba Moose.

The Hellebuyck call-up comes the morning after Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec was injured in a collision with Shane Doan of the Arizona Coyotes. Pavelec did not finish the game -- which the Jets won 3-2 -- and there was a report on social media late Saturday that Pavelec was seen leaving MTS Centre on crutches.
