Hat trick for Rochester Helenius scored three goals in AHL Rochester's 6-3 win over Hartford on Sunday.

Impact Helenius ended his first multi-game drought since January with this big outing. For the season, Helenius is up to 18 goals, 48 points, 123 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 50 appearances. The 19-year-old has done well over two years in the AHL, so it doesn't look like it'll be long before he gets an NHL opportunity.

Buries two goals in AHL win Helenius scored twice in AHL Rochester's 4-1 win over Utica on Saturday.

Impact Helenius saw time with the Sabres prior to the Olympic break, and he's earned three goals and three assists over three outings since returning to the AHL. That should help him remain in contention for a call-up once the NHL season resumes. Helenius has 36 points in 37 AHL contests, surpassing his total of 35 points from 65 games in the 2024-25 regular season.

Reassigned after Thursday's game Helenius was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday.

Impact Helenius will get steady playing time with Rochester while the NHL is on its Olympic break. The 19-year-old has four points in his first nine NHL contests. If the team is still hurting up front after the break, Helenius would seem to be a likely candidate to return to the big club.

First three points of career Helenius scored a goal and recorded two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Helenius made his NHL debut on Monday after being promoted Jan. 15, and it only took him two games to leave his mark on the scoresheet. The 19-year-old winger is currently playing in the third line, but if he adjusts quickly to the pace of the NHL, he could be in line for a bigger role in the second half of the season. Don't expect Helenius to crack the scoresheet on a regular basis, but he's someone to have on your radar in dynasty formats due to his outstanding potential as a 19-year-old.

Impact Helenius has been lighting it up in the minors, racking up nine goals and 21 helpers in 34 appearances for the Americans. The 19-year-old center will likely serve as an emergency depth option versus Montreal on Thursday, though he would be making his NHL debut if he got into the lineup ahead of Tyson Kozak.

Racks up three points Wednesday Helenius scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Rochester's 6-1 win over Belleville on Wednesday.

Impact Helenius has a point in 10 of Rochester's last 11 games, earning five goals and eight assists in that stretch. The 19-year-old has acclimated well to North America over the last two seasons. He had 35 points in 65 regular-season outings as a rookie last year, and he's up to nine goals, 23 points and 73 shots on net through 25 appearances this season. The Sabres will still want to let him dominate the AHL for a while before giving him a shot at an NHL job.

Dominant in AHL win Helenius scored twice on six shots and added two assists in AHL Rochester's 4-0 win over Laval on Friday.

Impact Prior to Friday, Helenius was off to a slow start. He now has five points and 19 shots over six games with the Americans. The 19-year-old is playing above his age group, but it would still look good if he can improve on the 14-goal, 35-point performance he had for Rochester over 65 regular-season games in 2024-25.
