  "account": "The Hellebuycks stop here\n\nThe New York Islanders lead the NHL in goal prevention, with their goaltending duo of Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov saving a combined 4.99 \"expected goals\" in four games. In contrast, the Calgary Flames, currently at the bottom of the league, have allowed 9.99 more goals than expected in their four appearances.\n\nEight U.S. teams, including the Florida Panthers, Utah Mammoth, San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, and Los Angeles Kings, have shown interest in Connor Hellebuyck, who is currently on strike from the Winnipeg Jets after requesting a trade. Hellebuyck's replacements, Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson, have allowed a combined 2.7 expected goals for Winnipeg, currently sitting eighth in the Money Puck list.\n\nHellebuyck's agent believes the Jets might be in a position of strength, particularly with Hellebuyck's replacements performing well. It's still early in the season, but if this trend continues, potential suitors for Hellebuyck could become increasingly desperate.",
