My co-captain on this ship, Andrei Lutz, wrote last week about the goaltending situation for the Winnipeg Jets in the upcoming season. While Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Hutchinson will likely carry the load for the Jets this year, that tandem likely doesn’t represent a future much past the 2015-16 season with a strong group of prospects at the position.
One of the game’s most prized goaltending prospects, Connor Hellebuyck, played 58 games for the AHL’s St. John’s Ice Caps last year in his first professional season and he’ll likely grab a lion’s share of the playing time once again for the Jets’ top affialite, now just down the hall at the MTS Centre.
