Here's today's NHL Nugget – this Birthday Backcheck features Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who turns 32 on May 19.
Hellebuyck is a Vezina Trophy winner, a U.S.-born record holder and a franchise goaltender who's under contract with the Jets through 2031. Although he and the Jets lost in Round 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs, they won the Presidents' Trophy, and Hellebuyck earned the William M. Jennings Trophy for playing at least 25 games on the team that allowed the fewest goals.
