The New Jersey Devils have announced that goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will not play in the upcoming game against his former team, the Winnipeg Jets, citing a reduced probability of winning with him in net.
The decision comes after Hellebuyck appeared in recent games, including a loss to the St. Louis Blues on November 5 and a win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on November 8. The Devils face the Jets in Winnipeg later this week.
Hellebuyck, who spent several seasons with the Jets before joining New Jersey, will be rested as the team evaluates its goaltending options for the matchup.
