On Tuesday, TSN Hockey analyst Bruce Boudreau argued that Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck could be the early favorite for the NHL’s MVP award. Boudreau believes Hellebuyck’s strong play this season makes him a top contender.
Hellebuyck has an 11-1-0 record, a 1.83 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage. He also has three shutouts. Boudreau pointed out that Hellebuyck is playing with a chip on his shoulder after a tough finish to last season.
"They got the best goalie, 11-1, 1.83 (GAA) if he can continue during the regular season? .... the MVP is in the net, and he's going to be the reason that the Winnipeg Jets stay where they are all year," Boudreau said, via TSN. [00:00:42] "He's won the Vezina, he didn't like how the season ended, he's got a chip on his shoulder, and he's going to prove to the world just that he's the best goaltender in the world right now, bar none."
