What happened: Connor Hellebuyck took the ice for morning skate at Canada Life Centre on Tuesday ahead of the New Jersey Devils' matchup against the Winnipeg Jets. The session marks his first on-ice appearance in Winnipeg since the franchise traded him in late October.

Why it matters: Although he participated in the morning skate, the Devils will not start Hellebuyck against his former team on Tuesday night. New Jersey opted to hold the netminder out of the starting crease to manage his transition following months of trade discussions.

What to watch: The Devils face the Jets on Tuesday night, with Hellebuyck slated to back up before New Jersey continues its road trip.
