Winnipeg Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck was perfect Sunday night, turning away all 29 Vancouver Canucks shots to pick up his 25th win of the season.
The 24-year-old helped his club to a 1-0 victory, and in doing so, set a franchise record for the fewest games needed to hit the 25-win plateau (39).
Hellebuyck bested the previous mark of 49 games set by Kari Lehtonen during the 2006-07 season.
It's the latest accolade for Hellebuyck in a season that has already seen him named to next weekend's All-Star festivities. He now hones a .926 save percentage and a 2.29 goals-against average, both of which stand as career highs, and he's now just one win away from matching his career best of 26, which he set last season.
