EDGE Analysis

Hellberg, who earned a win for the Senators before being waived earlier this season, blanked his former club over the final 44:33 to earn the win in the Atlantic Division matchup. The 31-year-old netminder started two straight games and appears to be settling in as the Red Wings' backup over Alex Nedeljkovic. Hellberg (3-2-0) backed the come-from-behind win after the Red Wings collected three third-period markers over a 1:55 span.

Hellberg will be between the home pipes against Ottawa on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg, who earned a milestone win in relief at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, failed to maintain the momentum as the Red Wings trailed 5-0 after 40 minutes. The 31-year-old netminder turned aside 19 shots in relief Wednesday, helping the Red Wings rally from a 4-0 road deficit and win for the first time in franchise history. Facing a Sabres squad that entered Thursday leading the NHL with 3.94 goals per game, Hellberg fell to 2-2-0.

Hellberg is expected to start on the road against Buffalo on Thursday, per Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now.

Hellberg stopped the 19 shots he faced to allow the Red Wings to overcome a 4-0 deficit en route to a 5-4 overtime victory. Buffalo has won its last four games while scoring 18 goals.

Hellberg saved the 19 shots he faced in Detroit's 5-4 overtime victory against Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg stepped into the game after Ville Husso was beaten by Jason Zucker at 19:27 of the first period. The Red Wings were down 4-0 when Hellberg took the net, but his steady play helped facilitate Detroit's comeback. The 31-year-old goaltender was called up from the AHL on Dec. 11 and is now 2-1-0 with a 1.80 GAA and .925 save percentage in three NHL games this season. Alex Nedeljkovic, who has struggled this season with a 4.09 GAA and .880 save percentage in nine contests, was a healthy scratch.

Hellberg stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit cut Minnesota's lead to 2-1 late in the second, only for Hellberg to let up a goal 16 seconds later to Mats Zuccarello, who scored from his knees. The Red Wings failed to mount a third-period comeback, and the Wild put the game away with an empty-netter with Hellberg pulled for an extra attacker down the stretch. Hellberg started this second leg of a back-to-back set and could continue to push Alex Nedeljkovic for the backup role, but Ville Husso remains the clear No. 1 option in net for Detroit.

Hellberg will start in goal in Wednesday's road game versus the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg will be making his Red Wings debut in this contest. His only other game this season came as a member of the Senators, when he stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 4-2 win over the Stars on Oct. 24. The 31-year-old will match his career high for games in a season with his second outings, and it's expected he'll remain a little-used part of the Red Wings' three-man goaltending group.

Hellberg was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg has posted a strong .932 save percentage and 2.50 GAA with AHL Grand Rapids this season. It's unclear if Ville Husso or Alex Nedeljkovic is dealing with an injury.
