Connor Hellebuyck passed Ondrej Pavelec for the most wins in Winnipeg Jets/Atlanta Thrashers history Thursday night, the team announced.
| Rank | Goalie | Wins |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Connor Hellebuyck | 153 |
| 2 | Ondrej Pavelec | 152 |
| 3 | Kari Lehtonen | 94 |
| 4 | Johan Hedberg | 57 |
| 5 | Pasi Nurminen | 48 |
Hellebuyck accomplished the feat in just his sixth campaign. It took Pavelec 10 seasons to get to 152 victories.
The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is just 27 years old and has four years remaining on his contract, giving him plenty of time to pad his lead.
Hellebuyck has gone 5-2-1 this season with a .913 save percentage and a 2.48 goals-against average.
The Thrashers relocated to Winnipeg prior to the 2011-12 season.
