Hellberg was sent down to AHL Hartford on Thursday,

EDGE Analysis

The Swede's reassignment to the minors indicates that fellow countryman Henrik Lundqvist's return from a hip injury is imminent. Hellberg didn't play at all during his week-long stint with the Blueshirts.

Hellberg was recalled from AHL Hartford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Starter Henrik Lundqvist (lower body) is expected to be out until early April, so there's a chance that Hellberg gets a start or two down the stretch. However, Antti Raanta is the guy you'll want to consider as a sneaky fantasy option since he'll temporarily hold down the No. 1 job.

Hellberg was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Swede has faced all of four shots in the NHL this season, appearing in just one game. With the Rangers not having a game scheduled until Friday, Hellberg's return to the minors is very likely to be a temporary stop, as Henrik Lundqvist (lower body) isn't expected to return to the crease until April. Expect Hellberg to be recalled in time for Friday's tilt with Florida and for him to serve as Antti Raanta's backup for the time being.

Hellberg was recalled from AHL Hartford on an emergency basis Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This move was necessitated by a lower-body injury to starting goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Since the King is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks of action, Hellberg could stay up with the parent club for approximately 10 games if the former doesn't return until the latter end of that timeline. He'll serve as the backup to interim No. 1 Antti Raanta, but his 11-11-2 record, 2.91 GAA and .902 save percentage with the Wolf Pack this year show that he's not quite ready for a roll beyond that of an emergency fill-in at the NHL level.

Hellberg was sent down to AHL Hartford on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

From the onset, Hellberg's recall was only going to be temporary as it was a result of Antti Raanta leaving the team for the birth of a child. With Raanta expected to be back in the fold for Sunday's matchup with the Flames, Hellberg became expendable. The 25-year-old has been serviceable this year with the Wolf Pack, as he has posted a 10-9-5 record with a .905 save percentage. With Raanta a potential target for the expansion draft, Hellberg might be worth a look as a stash option in deeper dynasty/keeper leagues.

Hellberg was recalled from AHL Hartford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With Rangers' backup netminder Antti Raanta awaiting the birth of his first child, Hellberg was recalled as an insurance policy in case Raanta is unable to be with the team for Thursday's game against Buffalo. Henrik Lundqvist has already been named the starting goalie for the tilt, so the most action Hellberg would see is a relief appearance.

Hellberg was assigned to AHL Hartford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg had been serving as the backup to Henrik Lundqvist while Antti Raanta (lower body) was on the shelf, but with Raanta in line to be healthy after the All-Star break, the team will no longer need Hellberg's services. The 25-year-old appeared in just one game during his 12-day stint in the majors.

Hellberg was called up from AHL Hartford on Monday, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg's promotion certainly brings into question Antti Raanta's availability for Tuesday's matchup with Dallas. Even if Raanta can't suit up, it seems unlikely that Hellberg will hit the ice as the team will almost certainly give Henrik Lundqvist the starting nod.

The Rangers placed Hellberg on waivers Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Antti Raanta is locked in as the Rangers' backup goaltender behind Henrik Lundqvist making Hellberg the odd man out in New York. As long as he isn't claimed off waivers by another NHL club, Hellberg will once again slot in as AHL Hartford's primary netminder in 2016-17. The 25-year-old backstop compiled a 30-20-3 record with a 2.40 GAA and .918 save percentage over 53 appearances with the Rangers' AHL affiliate last season.

Hellberg will start in goal against the Islanders in Tuesday night's exhibition opener.

EDGE Analysis

Hellberg will be looking for a more substantial role in the NHL after appearing in 53 games with AHL Hartford last season. The Swede is set to share the puck-stopping duties with Mackenzie Skapski on Tuesday, as the Blueshirts try to determine who will be third in the pecking order behind starter Henrik Lundqvist and primary backup Antti Raanta.
