Goalie Connor Hellebuyck told reporters in Winnipeg that family considerations and uncertainty about his career prompted his request for a trade to the New Jersey Devils, a move that was finalized in October. Earlier in the week, New Jersey general manager Sunny Mehta said the Devils chose to sit Hellebuyck for the game in Winnipeg to protect the team’s expected win probability, and head coach Sheldon Keefe indicated he would dress only as a backup. Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel publicly decried the decision, saying it denied fans and teammates closure.
