The helper was Helenius' first career playoff point. He was in the lineup for all six playoff contests but averaged just 3:57 of ice time per game in a fourth-line role. The physical forward had 14 hits to go with one shot on goal and two blocked shots this postseason. He also had seven points, 29 shots, 150 hits and 25 PIM over 50 regular-season outings. Helenius will compete for a steadier role |

Helenius ended an 11-game point drought in style. He opened the scoring at 15:14 of the first period and then added the Kings' last goal in the third, which ended up being the game-winner when the Kraken rallied close but couldn't tie it. This was Helenius' first multi-point outing in the NHL. He's posted four goals, three assists, 29 shots on net, 145 hits and a plus-1 rating over 49 appearances |

Helenius set up an Adrian Kempe tally at 3:03 of the first period. The assist was Helenius' first point in nine games since he was recalled from AHL Ontario on March 5. The good news is he's sticking in the lineup, but only in a fourth-line role that has rarely led to offense or even significant ice time. Helenius has four points, 20 shots on net, 111 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-1 rating across 36 NH |
Helenius has two points over his last two games after going 10 contests without a point at the NHL level. The 22-year-old's role is unlikely to change -- the Kings' strong forward depth keeps Helenius locked in on the fourth line, but he's at least played well enough to stay in the lineup. He's at five points, 21 shots on net, 113 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances, bringing a ph |

Helenius appears to be the odd man out in Los Angeles, as the team needs a roster spot to activate Drew Doughty (ankle) off long-term injured reserve. In his 27 appearances this season, the 22-year-old Helenius has generated one goal, two assists and 16 shots while dishing out 80 hits.

Helenius had not gotten on the scoresheet since Nov. 16 when he had an assist versus the Red Wings. This was his first NHL goal.

Helenius has been a healthy scratch for his last four NHL games, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him heading down to the minors to get some game action.
