Hellebuyck's 41 Saves Lead Team USA to Olympic Gold Medal

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck delivered a stellar performance, making 41 saves in Team USA's 2-1 overtime victory over Canada to secure the Olympic gold medal. Despite being out-shot 42-28, Hellebuyck allowed only one goal to Cale Makar late in the second period. He was the primary netminder for Team USA, posting a 4-0-0 record with a 1.23 GAA and .947 save percentage in four tournament appearances. His 41 saves were a season-high. Hellebuyck returns to the Jets with renewed confidence after a rough start to 2025-26.
