What happened: Multiple sources indicated Connor Hellebuyck notified the Winnipeg Jets that he and his family faced online targeting last season. Neither the organization nor local police received reports from the goaltender regarding hostile fan behavior beyond digital threats.

Why it matters: The clarification follows comments from the goaltender regarding off-ice friction before his departure. New Jersey opted to hold him out as the Devils will not start Hellebuyck against his former team in their return matchup.

What to watch: The Devils face the Jets on Tuesday, with puck drop set for 7:00 PM ET.
