What happened: New Jersey Devils goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will not play Tuesday against Winnipeg. Hellebuyck addressed the decision to keep him out of the net, stating the choice was out of his hands.

Why it matters: The move prevents Hellebuyck from facing his former club in his first trip back since being acquired from the Jets in October. New Jersey opted to bypass the matchup following the goaltender's earlier trade request.

What to watch: The Devils travel to face Winnipeg on Tuesday night.
