Connor Hellebuyck got a hostile welcome at Canada Life Centre in his first visit to Winnipeg since demanding a trade and refusing to report to training camp. Jets fans booed him through more than 12 minutes of warmups, cheered when a Devils teammate scored on him and chanted “Where is Connor?” once the puck dropped. One fan threw a Jets sweater onto the ice. Hellebuyck was listed as Jake Allen’s backup but never took the visitors’ backup goalie spot, and he had said he was disappointed he would not start in the building where he spent 11 seasons.
