Connor Hellebuyck's Franchise-Record Home Shutout Streak Snapped Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck lost his home shutout streak of 174 minutes, 54 seconds in the third period of Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils, per Sportsnet Stats.

Hellebuyck allowed a second goal in the final period of Tuesday's action, but the Jets still won 3-2. The 23-year-old netminder posted two straight home shutouts—beating the Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks—prior to Tuesday.

Despite the youngster's latest efforts, Winnipeg has just an 11-12-2 record and sits sixth in the Central Division. Much of the Jets' troubles this season relate to Hellebuyck's struggles on the road.

While Hellebuyck owns a 1.92 goals-against average and .937 save percentage over 11 home games (10 starts) this season, his road marks (3.51 GAA and .879 save percentage) are on the other end of the spectrum. The disparity of his home and road splits has resulted in a 7-3-0 record at home and just a 2-5-0 record on the road in his outings between the pipes.

While Winnipeg wasn't expected to be a powerhouse this season, ESPN.com has suggested a return to the playoffs wouldn't be out of the question. The Jets do have some nice young pieces, but it's unclear if the club is ready to compete right now.

The Central Division remains compact up to this point, with the Jets trailing just five points behind the St. Louis Blues for second place. Even if the Jets aren't able to secure a playoff spot in 2016-17, it appears the club has a bright future.
