Magnus Hellberg News

Hellberg will make his Red Wings' debut after being claimed off waivers last week for the third time this season. In his one NHL game this season with the Ottawa Senators, he was excellent, stopping 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in a win over Dallas. He will face Minnesota, who has won their last two games and has the eighth-best powerplay at 25.0%.

Detroit was Hellberg's third NHL team this season after playing one game between both Ottawa and Seattle where he won after stopping 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%). The 31-year-old veteran has six career NHL games and has won three of them. He has been assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) for conditioning.

Hellberg was with the Kraken to start the season before getting claimed by Ottawa and got to appear in one game where he won, stopping 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) as he picked up his third career win against Dallas on October 24th. The 31-year-old will head to Seattle who is dealing with an injury to Philipp Grubauer between the pipes.

Hellberg will make the first start of his Ottawa career Monday when the Senators host the Central-leading Dallas Stars at home. He has struggled through his five career games played across four years, pitching a .869 SV% as well as a 2.81 GAA. He takes on a Dallas Stars team who have earned a point in all five of their games so far in 2022-23, averaging the fifth-best GF/GP in the league (4.0).

With Cam Talbot out five-to-seven weeks, the Senators have claimed Hellberg to serve as their No.2 behind Anton Forsberg to open the season. Hellberg spent the last five seasons in the KHL before joining the Red Wings last April. Overall, he's 2-0-0 with a .869 SV% in five career NHL games with the Predators, Rangers, and Red Wings.

Hellberg joined the Red Wings late in the 2022 season after finishing his season in the KHL with Sochi HC. He only played in one game with Detroit, allowing three goals on 23 shots in a win over the Devils. In Seattle, hell be No.4 on the depth chart behind Philipp Grubauer, Martin Jones and Chris Driedger.

Hellberg was originally a second-round pick of the Predators in 2011 but only appeared in one game for the franchise. He ended up getting traded to the Rangers, where he played only three games. He's spent the last five years in the KHL, most recently with Sochi H, where he was 13-20-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .917 SV% in 2022.

The Rangers are off until Friday, so they are likely sending Hellberg back to the AHL to save money and he should be called back up before Friday’s game. Nothing has changed on Henrik Lundqvist’s timetable.

Henrik Lundqvist is out for 2-3 weeks, so Hellberg has been recalled to serve as Antti Raanta’s backup. Hellberg has gone 11-11-2 with a 2.91 GAA and .902 SV% in 31 games with Hartford this season.

Hellberg will come up to serve as Henrik Lundqvist’s backup tonight because Antti Raanta’s wife is expecting a baby.
