Story summary

Connor Hellebuyck, the three-time Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender, will not play for the New Jersey Devils against his former team, the Winnipeg Jets, in Winnipeg on Tuesday. This decision came despite Hellebuyck's desire to face his previous teammates and fans after being traded by the Jets on October 23 for forward Dawson Mercer, goalie Nico Daws, and a second-round draft pick from the 2029 NHL draft. The Devils' general manager Sunny Mehta cited a potential "reduction in expected win probability" as the reason for sitting Hellebuyck. Fans of both teams are puzzled by this move, with some Jets fans feeling betrayed given that Hellebuyck had signed a seven-year, $59.1 million contract extension just two years prior before requesting a trade.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
