Reassigned to AHL Hellberg was assigned to AHL Texas on Sunday.

Impact Hellberg was the backup goalie behind Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over St. Louis. The 33-year-old Hellberg's return to the minors may bode well for the availability of Casey DeSmith (illness) ahead of Monday's home matchup against Washington.

Wins in overtime Hellberg stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact Hellberg failed to protect a couple of one-goal leads, but Bryan Rust ultimately got the game-winner for the Penguins in overtime. It was a solid first start of the season for Hellberg, who is filling in for Tristan Jarry (face). Through three appearances, Hellberg has allowed five goals on 64 shots this season. He would likely start at home Saturday versus the Sabres if Jarry isn't cleared to play by then.

Impact Both of Hellberg's appearances this season have been relief outings. He's allowed two goals on 28 shots in those games.

The Penguins wrap up their west coast road trip Thursday against the Kings.

This was also Hellberg's debut as a member of the Penguins after he played in 18 games last season between the Senators and Red Wings. With Tristan Jarry struggling, Hellberg could get his first start sooner than expected.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needed in relief against Stars Hellberg turned aside 14 of 17 shots after replacing Ville Husso midway through the first period of Monday's 6-1 loss to Dallas.

Impact Neither goalie had much success as the Stars dominated play in all three zones for the first 40 minutes before taking their foot off the gas in the third period. Hellberg has only one win since late February, going 1-4-0 over his last eight appearances with a 4.08 GAA and .864 save percentage as the Red Wings play out the string on a seventh straight season without making the postseason.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strafed by Jets Hellberg stopped 23 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.

Set to start Friday Hellberg will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact It's a tough back-to-back for the Red Wings after they won at home Thursday versus the Hurricanes with Alex Nedeljkovic in goal. Hellberg will look to bounce back from getting pulled in his last outing versus the Blues on March 23. The Jets are slumping, which could make Hellberg a viable streaming option.

Pulled after singing the Blues Hellberg allowed three goals on 13 shots Thursday before being relieved at 12:40 of the second period against the Blues.

Impact Hellberg didn't get much help from his teammates, who were criticized post-game by coach Derek Lalonde. "I'm really disappointed with the way we handled giving up the goals," said Lalonde. "Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves for four or five minutes after every goal, we have to go play the right way." He was replaced by Alex Nedeljikovic who made eight saves.
