New Jersey Devils general manager announced that goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will not play against the Winnipeg Jets, citing a "reduction" in win probability as the reason for the decision.
Hellebuyck, who previously played for the Jets organization, expressed disappointment at not getting the opportunity to face his former team. The goaltender told reporters he was "disappointed" about the situation.
The decision marks a notable moment as Hellebuyck would have been playing against the franchise where he spent the early part of his NHL career before joining the Devils.
