Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck picked up his first win of the 4 Nations Face-off on Thursday night. Despite a shaky start, to which the American backstop gave up a goal to Finland just 3:31 into the game, Hellebuyck turned aside everything else that was sent his way, picking up a 6-1 victory to open the tournament.

The Jets have won seven in a row to move atop the NHL standings through 55 games going into Thursday's action around the league, and it's not just because of elite goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. They're the highest-scoring team with the best power play and have given up the fewest goals a game, playing with strong fundamentals and sound structure.
