New Jersey Devils GM Sunny Mehta's analytic LEAP OF FAITH puts Connor Hellebuyck in crosshairs

Sunny Mehta has released the statement of the century, and I'm pretty sure everyone has an opinion on how the Devils are treating Connor Hellebuyck's return to Winnipeg. None of that should take away from the Devils ninth win in 10 games, including a banner weekend that included a come-from-behind win over the Islanders and a shutout win against Toronto on the back-end of a back-to-back. Still, it's hard to ignore the implications of the infamous 'win probability' statement. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
