Hellebuyck, Jets Left to Deal with Rapid Fall From Grace This Season

Hellebuyck said complacency hurt Winnipeg, which finished 35-35-12 and missed the playoffs after winning the Presidents' Trophy last season.

  • On Friday, Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck assessed the team's season as "unacceptable," following a campaign where the club missed the NHL playoffs after winning the Presidents' Trophy last year.
  • "This year, it was chaos," Hellebuyck said, as the Jets finished with a 35-35-12 record—a 34-point drop from their championship season, marking a historic collapse.
  • After winning the Vezina and Hart Trophy, Hellebuyck recorded a 2.86 goals-against average and an.895 save percentage this season, a stark statistical decline as he approaches age 33 next month.
  • With his patience "starting to run thin," Hellebuyck emphasized that winning a Stanley Cup remains his goal, questioning whether the organization can acquire necessary pieces to compete.
  • Forward Jonathan Toews played 82 games this season but remains noncommittal about his future, while teammate Mark Scheifele posted a career-high 103 points and prepares for the IIHF Men's World Championship.
