Helleson scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Bruins.

Helleson has two goals and a helper through seven appearances this season. The defenseman has been steady enough to move up to the top pairing alongside Jackson LaCombe after beginning the season on the third pairing. Helleson has some sneaky offense -- he put up 13 points in 56 regular-season games for theDucks in 2024-25. This year, he's added 10 shots on net, six blocked shots, five hits and a minus-3 rating, but he should get better over time as he adjusts to a larger role. Helleson is in line for bigger minutes as long as Radko Gudas (lower body) is unavailable.

Helleson scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Helleson gave theDucks a 3-2 lead midway through the second period on a set-up from Chris Kreider. The goal was Helleson's first point in three games, and he's added five shots on net, two blocked shots, one hit and a minus-1 rating this season. The Ducks are carrying just six blueliners early in the year, so the 24-year-old doesn't appear to have a reason to worry about his playing time. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Ducks for their five-game road trip, which begins Sunday in Chicago.

Helleson signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with Anaheim on Friday.

Helleson established himself on the Anaheim blue line in 2024-25, playing 56 regular-season games. The 24-year-old, who was selected in the second round, 47th overall, in 2019 by Colorado, generated four goals, nine assists, 47 PIM, 99 hits and 73 blocked shots. He is slated to play on the third unit, alongside Olen Zellweger.

Helleson logged an assist and six PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Helleson ended a five-game point drought when he set up Cutter Gauthier's second goal of the game. The 24-year-old Helleson has been a regular in theDucks' lineup since late January, and he's put together a decent first full NHL campaign. He's up to 13 points, 56 shots on net, 89 hits, 67 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 51 appearances in a bottom-four role.

Helleson notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Helleson has a pair of helpers over his last three games, an improvement on the four-game point drought that preceded this stretch. The 24-year-old defenseman is holding steady in a third-pairing role in the late stages of the campaign. He's up to 12 points, 48 shots on net, 81 hits, 60 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 45 contests.

Helleson scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-4 win over theDucks.

Helleson has three points over his last two contests after going 13 games without getting on the scoresheet. The 23-year-old's path to playing time is clear following the trade that sent Brian Dumoulin to the Devils, though Helleson has seen less time in the press box than Pavel Mintyukov or Olen Zellweger this season. Overall, Helleson has 10 points, 42 shots on net, 66 hits, 52 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating across 38 appearances.

Helleson scored a goal on three shots, added five hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Helleson snapped a 13-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 23-year-old has been a regular in theDucks' lineup since Jan. 23 -- he was scratched four times in five games before that, but his recent lack of offense has yet to cost him playing time. For the season, Helleson has eight points, 40 shots on net, 64 hits, 49 blocked shots, 31 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 37 appearances in a third-pairing role.

Helleson held a plus-2 rating and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Canucks.

Helleson hasn't recorded a point in nine games, but showings like this one display the value he has. The 23-year-old's game currently isn't flashy, but there's certainly room to grow for the rookie. However, with theDucks fully healthy on defense, Helleson yields little value to fantasy managers this season.

Helleson logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Helleson has a helper in back-to-back games after sitting out four of the previous five contests. That's a good way for him to try to claim a larger role in the lineup, though he's likely to remain confined to third-pairing minutes. Helleson is at seven points, 25 shots on net, 25 PIM, 29 blocked shots and 36 hits over 23 appearances. As long as he plays well, he should be able to fend off any challenges from Olen Zellweger for the last spot in theDucks' lineup.

Helleson logged an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

Helleson had been scratched in four of the previous five games, and he had gone eight contests without a point. The 23-year-old appears to have entered the mix of blueliners who may sit out occasionally, joining fellow young defensemen Olen Zellweger and Pavel Mintyukov. Competition should bring the best out of all of them as they look to solidify their NHL spots in the long run. Helleson has earned six points, 23 shots on net, 32 hits, 29 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 22 appearances. He has limited upside in a part-time role.

Helleson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Helleson has played in three straight games, this time staying in the lineup over Olen Zellweger. The 23-year-old Helleson was scratched for seven straight games between Dec. 9-22, and his spot in the lineup is far from secure. He has five points, 14 shots on net, 16 hits, 18 blocked shots and eight PIM through 13 NHL appearances this season.

Helleson drew into the lineup for the first time in eight games when he played in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

TheDucks' trades swapping Urho Vaakanainen for Jacob Trouba and dealing away Cam Fowler to St. Louis have led to a more balanced blue line between righties and lefties. Helleson is one of three right-shot defensemen, but he has sat out at times in favor of Pavel Mintyukov or Jackson LaCombe. Helleson has four points, 12 shots on net, 14 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 11 appearances this season. As a young blueliner, Helleson is likely to fill a part-time role as long as he remains on the NHL roster.

Helleson posted an assist and two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.

Helleson has a goal and three assists over seven NHL appearances during this stint with theDucks. The 23-year-old has proven himself capable of handling third-pairing minutes. He's added three shots on net, a plus-2 rating, six hits and 10 blocked shots. Helleson's production probably isn't enough to sway most fantasy managers, especially given the team he's on, but he could be helping his cause to stick in the NHL once Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) is healthy again.

Helleson scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Helleson opened the scoring at 4:02 of the first period. The 23-year-old blueliner has three points over four outings since he was recalled from AHL San Diego. He's been limited to a third-pairing role, but he's holding his own and could make a case for more playing time even once Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) is ready to return. Helleson has added a plus-2 rating, six blocked shots, four PIM and three shots on goal.

Helleson provided a pair of assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.

Helleson drew into the lineup due to the absences of Cam Fowler (upper body) and Urho Vaakanainen (upper body). This was Helleson's first NHL action since he saw three games during the 2022-23 campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner is likely to see third-pairing minutes until Vaakanainen is healthy, as Fowler is out for 2-4 weeks. Helleson could make a case to stick around longer if he's able to make a positive impact in limited minutes.

Helleson was called up by theDucks on Wednesday.

Helleson has no points and 14 PIM in 12 outings with AHL San Diego in 2024-25. His presence gives the Ducks a seventh healthy defenseman on the roster. Cam Fowler (upper body) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against Vegas after being put on injured reserve Tuesday.

Helleson was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Tuesday.

Helleson will likely see significant minutes with the Gulls as he continues to develop his game. The 23-year-old was a second-round selection by Colorado in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The Minnesota native has appeared in three NHL contests to this point, all coming with Anaheim during the 2022-23 campaign.

Helleson was sent down to AHL San Diego on Friday, per CapFriendly.

Helleson tied the game at 2-2 with his second-period tally. This was just his second NHL contest, and he's been limited to sheltered minutes on theDucks' third pairing. He's contributed three shots on net, two hits, a blocked shot and an even plus-minus rating. Helleson will likely have a chance to compete for an NHL job in training camp in September.

Helleson was recalled from AHL San Diego on Sunday.

Helleson had five goals and 18 points in 63 games with AHL San Diego. The 22-year-old blueliner will likely make his NHL debut Sunday against Colorado, the team that originally drafted him in 2019, with Scott Harrington (upper body) unlikely to play.
