What happened: The Devils will not start Connor Hellebuyck on Tuesday against the Jets in Winnipeg, per Sportsnet, even though he wanted to "face the music" in his return. Hellebuyck told reporters the decision was out of his hands, per TSN.
Why it matters: New Jersey acquired Hellebuyck from Winnipeg on Oct. 23 for Mercer, Command, Bjugstad and picks. The goaltender later asked out of Winnipeg, so his first game back there carries extra weight.
By the numbers: Hellebuyck's most recent outing was a shutout win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
What to watch: Hellebuyck is scheduled to explain why he asked out of Winnipeg on Tuesday.
