The Winnipeg Jets, in conjunction with the National Hockey League, today announced that goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been selected to participate in the 2024 NHL All-Star Game. The 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend is being hosted by the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 2-4, 2024.
Hellebuyck, 30, is in his ninth full season in the NHL, all with the Jets franchise. The Commerce, Mich. native is among the NHL leaders for goaltenders who have played 12-or-more games in wins (T-2nd: 18), goals-against average (5th: 2.33), save percentage (6th: .920), and games (4th: 27). Hellebuyck was recently named the NHL’s Third Star of the Month for December after posting a 7-0-2 record with a 1.88 GAA and a .934 SV%.
This will be Hellebuyck’s fourth All-Star appearance as he participated in the 2018, 2020, and 2022 editions in Tampa Bay, Fla., St. Louis, Mo., and Sunrise, Fla., respectively. He won the 2020 Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender and he is a three-time finalist for the award. Winnipeg has not allowed more than three goals in a game since Nov. 2 and over that span Hellebuyck is 14-3-2 with a shutout, a 2.00 GAA, and a .932 SV%.
