Connor Hellebuyck will take the net against Buffalo Sabres backup Chad Johnson. Johnson has one win in 11 starts and an .884 save percentage. Yeesh. He played the third period in last night’s game, taking over for starter Robin Lehner. Lehner had allowed six goals to the Wild in just 40 minutes. Not great going into a back to back.
Connor Hellebuyck needs no introduction. The Jets are smart to keep running him out there, and he’s won three of his last four starts. In his last five, he’s 3-0-2. He was in net when the Avs won in OT the other night.
