Contrary to a previous report, Alex Nedeljkovic is listed as Sunday's starter in New Jersey, leaving Hellberg in a backup role.
EDGE Analysis
Hellberg's season debut will have to wait, though it's possible he'll be called upon in relief given Nedeljkovic's recent struggles.

Hellberg will start Sunday's game in New Jersey, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After both Thomas Greiss and Alex Nedeljkovic appeared in Saturday's 7-2 shelling at the hands of the Penguins, Detroit will turn to Hellberg in net for the 31-year-old Swede's season debut and fifth career NHL appearance. Given his lack of experience at the top level and Detroit's defensive struggles, Hellberg will be tough to trust Sunday despite a favorable matchup against a beat-up Devils team that's won only three of its last 12 games.

Hellberg signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellberg's last NHL experience came during the 2016-17 campaign when he made two appearances for the Rangers and recorded one win against the Penguins. Since then, the 31-year-old goalie has spent time playing overseas in China and Russia. Detroit's losing record (28-35-10) may offer the 2011 second round-pick another opportunity to showcase whether his talents can stack up against the game's best.

Hellberg agreed to terms with Kunlun of the KHL on Thursday, R-Sport reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Hellberg firmly entrenched as the third goalie in the Rangers' system, he'll head over to the KHL's only Chinese team in an effort to receive more playing time. The 26-year-old appeared in just two games for the Rangers this season, notching a win and posting a 1.52 GAA and .929 save percentage in those contests.

Hellberg was called up from AHL Hartford on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
There hasn't been an injury to either of the Leafs' goalies, so it seems like this call up is just a precaution, and with no limit on playoff rosters, there's not much downside. Hellberg only played in two NHL games this year, but he stopped 26 of 28 shots faced in those contests.

Hellberg was returned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Swede was utilized in Sunday's contest against the Penguins, stopping 22 of 24 shots at home for his first career victory. Hartford has several more games left on its regular-season docket, so the goalie prospect will look to finish strong in the minors.

Hellberg stopped 22 of 24 shots for his first career NHL victory Sunday against the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Hellberg turned in a strong performance to help the Rangers enter the postseason on a high note. The 26-year-old will likely be sent back down to the AHL, with Henrik Lundqvist and Antti Raanta representing the team's goaltending during the playoffs. We haven't seen enough of Hellberg at the NHL level to know what he's capable of, but he's put up solid numbers in the AHL, so he's one to keep an eye on.

Hellberg will replace Anti Raanta (knee) as the starter for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Penguins,Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellberg was believed to be recalled to give Lundqvist the day off Sunday, but will instead be manning the crease after Antti Raanta took a puck off the knee in practice Friday. The 26-year-old netminder has very limited experience at the top level and the experience he's had hasn't been good. Hellberg will look for a better result Sunday in what will be a lineup devoid of many big names on both sides.

Hellberg was recalled from AHL Hartford on Sunday to serve as the backup for the club's regular-season finale, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers will give veteran Henrik Lundqvist a night completely off Sunday, with Magnus Hellberg set to back up Anti Raanta to close out the regular season. Hellberg shouldn't see any time between the pipes in the contest and could be reassigned following the contest.
