Helleson's point drought reached 12 games in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks saw 14 different skaters get on the scoresheet, but Helleson was one of the four who didn't. He's gone minus-2 with nine shots on net, 24 blocked shots and eight hits during his 12-game slump. On the year, he's at nine points, 27 shots on net, 30 hits, 43 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 29 appearances. With his physicality also trending down, his fantasy appeal is heavily limited.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 the Ducks 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.

EDGE Analysis

Helleson gave the Ducks 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 the Ducks' 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.

EDGE Analysis

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 the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

Helleson snapped a 13-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 23-year-old has been a regular in the Ducks' 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.

EDGE Analysis

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 the Ducks 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.

EDGE Analysis

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 the Ducks' lineup.
