The Devils woke up to a lot of heat on Monday following their decision to bench Connor Hellebuyck against the Jets on Tuesday in what would be his first trip to Winnipeg since his trade last month season. General Manager Sunny Mehta released a statement on Sunday night about the decision and cited a potential “reduction in our expected win probability” as the top reason for not having the goalie face his former team for the first time. “This has been an organizational decision for us that we’ve debated at length,” Mehta said in the statement.
