It appears to be Connor’s crease to lose.

Connor Hellebuyck will get the start in net tonight for Winnipeg, his eighth of the young season. He is 6-0-1 this season with a sparkling 1.91 GAA and .940 save percentage, which puts him among the league’s best goaltenders so far.

Jets coach Paul Maurice said he wants to get Steve Mason (0-3-1, 4.84 GAA and .872 SV%) into another game soon, following a strong performance last week against the Blue Jackets in Columbus, and has a plan mapped out.
