New Jersey Devils goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has shown early promise in his first five starts since being acquired via trade, with a notable performance on November 3, 2026, at Prudential Center in Newark. The 37-year-old netminder made a key save during an overtime shootout against the Edmonton Oilers, helping secure a result for his new team.

The Devils hosted the Oilers at Prudential Center where Hellebuyck's shootout stop highlighted his immediate impact. Since joining New Jersey, the veteran goaltender has appeared in five games, demonstrating the form that made him a coveted trade target.

Hellebuyck, wearing number 37 for the Devils, faced his former Western Conference rivals in Edmonton during the early-season matchup. The overtime shootout save underscored his composure under pressure and ability to deliver in critical moments for a Devils team looking to solidify its goaltending position.
