New Jersey Devils goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has shown early promise in his first five starts since joining the team via trade. The 37-year-old netminder made a key save during an overtime shootout against the Edmonton Oilers on November 3, 2026, at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

The Devils acquired Hellebuyck in a trade that brought the veteran goaltender to New Jersey. Through his initial five appearances, Hellebuyck has demonstrated the form that made him a valuable acquisition for the franchise.

In the November 3 matchup against Edmonton, the game extended to an overtime shootout where Hellebuyck's performance helped secure a result for the Devils at their home arena.
