The Winnipeg Jets have agreed to terms with goaltender Connor Hellebuyck on a six-year, $37 million deal, the team announced Thursday.
Hellebuyck, who was one of 43 NHL players who had filed for salary arbitration on July 5, tied for the NHL lead for most wins with a 44-11-9 record last season. He was eighth in the league with a 2.36 goals-against average and had a .924 save percentage.
Hellebuyck, a fifth-round draft choice by the team in 2012, was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, which went to the Predators' Pekka Rinne.
