Why Connor Hellebuyck is uniquely suited to solve the Devils’ biggest problem nytimes.com
The Devils acquired goalie Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg to address a persistent weakness: poor goaltending despite New Jersey’s strong defense and shot suppression. The Athletic’s Harman Dayal argues Hellebuyck is a particularly good fit because his career-leading 176.0 goals saved above expected and strong record in low-shot games suggest he can stay sharp during quiet stretches and stop dangerous chances.
