Former Winnipeg Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck made his debut with the New Jerseys Devils on Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars.
The 33-year-old was traded to New Jersey on Oct. 23, and he didn’t waste any time making a lasting impression in a Devils uniform.
The Devils defense successfully held the Stars to only six shots in the first period, and Hellebuyck stopped all six of them. They ended the first period with a 1-0 lead.
The Devils offense surged in the second period with two more goals, helping their new goaltender shine in his debut. While it appeared that Hellebuyck was on his way to chasing a shutout, Stars center Justin Hryckowian spoiled his chances.
