Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Needed in relief against Stars
Hellberg turned aside 14 of 17 shots after replacing Ville Husso midway through the first period of Monday's 6-1 loss to Dallas.
Neither goalie had much success as the Stars dominated play in all three zones for the first 40 minutes before taking their foot off the gas in the third period. Hellberg has only one win since late February, going 1-4-0 over his last eight appearances with a 4.08 GAA and .864 save percentage as the Red Wings play out the string on their seventh straight season without making the playoffs.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Strafed by Jets
Hellberg stopped 23 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.
Three Jets goals in the first 14 minutes of the first period put the game out of reach, as Hellberg lost for the fourth time in his last five decisions. Over that seven-appearance stretch, the 31-year-old has a brutal 4.12 GAA and .868 save percentage, and he may not see any further action this season if Ville Husso (lower body) gets healthy and Alex Nedeljkovic remains with the big club.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Set to start Friday
Hellberg will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
It's a tough back-to-back for the Red Wings after they won at home Thursday versus the Hurricanes with Alex Nedeljkovic in goal. Hellberg will look to bounce back from getting pulled in his last outing versus the Blues on March 23. The Jets are slumping, which could make Hellberg a viable streaming option.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Pulled after singing the Blues
Hellberg allowed three goals on 13 shots Thursday before being relieved at 12:40 of the second period against the Blues.
Hellberg didn't get much help from his teammates, who were criticized post-game by coach Derek Lalonde. "I'm really disappointed with the way we handled giving up the goals," said Lalonde. "Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves for four or five minutes after every goal, we have to go play the right way." He was replaced by Alex Nedeljikovic who made eight saves.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Crumbles against Boston
Hellberg stopped 35 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
The Red Wings actually held a 2-0 lead after the first period, but Hellberg couldn't hold up against a relentless Boston offense that fired 18 pucks his way in the second frame alone. The 31-year-old netminder has lost his last three starts, allowing 13 total goals in those appearances, and he'll hand the crease back to Ville Husso as the two teams complete a home-and-home set Sunday in Detroit.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Fades late against Isles
Hellberg made 32 saves in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
The 31-year-old netminder actually took a shutout into the third period, but the Red Wings completely collapsed over the final 20 minutes. Hellberg got the nod with Ville Husso (undisclosed) unavailable, but even if Husso isn't ready to go for Sunday's game against the Flyers, Alex Nedeljkovic would likely get the start instead. Hellberg hasn't done much to earn more playing time anyway, going 1-4-1 through seven appearances since the beginning of January with an .894 save percentage.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Falls to Ottawa

Hellberg held Ottawa off the board in the first period, but he'd allow six goals between the second and third frames in the 6-2 loss.

Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: In goal Monday
Hellberg will get the starting nod versus Ottawa on the road Monday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Hellberg will take the first game of the Red Wings' back-to-back versus the Senators with Ville Husso manning the crease Tuesday. For his part, Hellberg has played in just five of the team's last 23 contests and has secured just one victory over that stretch while posting a 2.54 GAA. Looking ahead to the remainder of the season, Husso should continue to see the majority of the starts while Hellberg serves as the No. 2 option.

Hellberg stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

The 31-year-old netminder improves to 4-4-1 with a .907 save percentage on the season.
