Hellebuyck Blanks Sharks
Connor Hellebuyck made 17 saves in Wednesday’s 1-0 shutout victory over the Sharks. Hellebuyck wasn’t tested often Wednesday, but he was sharp when called upon, turning aside all 17 San Jose shots en route to his third shutout of the season. The 30-year-old netminder’s won back-to-back starts, allowing just one goal on 53 shots in that span. Overall, Hellebuyck improves to 25-10-3 with a .926 save percentage and 2.13 GAA on the campaign.
Pettersson Dishes out Three Assists vs. Red Wings
Elias Pettersson notched three assists and went plus-3 in Thursday’s 4-1 win over the Red Wings. Pettersson set up two goals by Elias Lindholm and one tally for Nikita Zadorov in the contest. This was Pettersson’s third three-point effort in his last seven games. The center is up to 28 tallies, 44 helpers, 143 shots on net, 83 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating through 55 appearances. He’s on pace to challenge his career-best 102-point campaign from 2022-23, and he’s added more physicality this year to be a well-rounded fantasy player.
