Hellebuyck stopped 16 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Hellebuyck's next chance to play will be Thursday against the Predators.

Impact
Hellebuyck made 41 saves in the win over St. Louis. In DFS contests, you generally want your netminder to be that busy, but only if there's enough confidence that he'll be up to the task. As a 2018 Vezina Trophy finalist, Hellebuyck is going to come out on top more often than not. He tied Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy with a league-high 44 wins last season, maintaining a 2.36 GAA and .924 save percentage. Go ahead and use the 25-year-old Hellebuyck as a No. 1 fantasy tender, as you won't be disappointed.
