‘Helenius (5-11, 190) led Rochester in scoring in his second American Hockey League season, and the 20-year-old was a standout during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, scoring two goals in four games against the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Second Round. He then had six points (three goals, three assists) for Finland in six games at the 2026 IIHF World Championship, capped by scoring the golden goal in overtime of a 1-0 win against Switzerland in the championship game. Now he looks poised to grab a full-time, top-nine spot with the Sabres.’
