The Winnipeg Jets are off to the best start in NHL history, winning 14 of their first 15 games. Their the whole team It was amazing to see their offense firing on all cylinders, their blue line stifling defense and moving the puck quickly.

But nothing about it jets Their goaltending is just as impressive, and that’s thanks to Vezina Trophy winner and superstar goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. After another dazzling week in net, the NHL named him the First Star of the Week for the week ending November 10. He is joined by Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon and Buffalo Sabers goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen as the league’s Three Stars.

Over the past week, hellebuyck He played three games for the Jets. While playing for power-hungry offenses like the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars, he won all three contests, had two shutouts and allowed just one goal. As NHL PR writes, he stopped nearly 99% of all shots he faced in those three games, making him an easy choice for last week’s starter.

“Hellebuyck, 31,” they wrote. “The reigning Vezina Trophy winner leads the League with 11 wins, a 1.83 goals-against average, a .935 save percentage and three shutouts through his first 12 games in 2024-25 (minimum: 6 GP). He is ninth.” goaltender won 11 of the first 12 games of a season in NHL history, becoming the sixth player in this century to do so.”

This week he continued his elite start to the 2024-2025 season. He’s started 12 of the Jets’ first 15 games so far and has almost guaranteed a win every time he’s been between the pipes. His 11-1 record, along with his GAA and save percentage, puts his accolades in 2023-2024 to shame.

The Jets are at the top of the NHL world early in the season, and they couldn’t do it without their all-star goaltender. Hellebuyck continues his dominance at the goaltending position and will likely make more appearances as the NHL’s First Star of the Week.
