2025 Fantasy Outlook
A second-round selection by the Los Angeles in 2021, Helenius collected four goals, seven points, 150 hits and a plus-1 rating across 50 regular-season outings in 2024-25. The 22-year-old also appeared in 20 games with AHL Ontario, as he has yet to establish himself as a fixture in the NHL. A similar path could be in store for the left-shot center in 2025-26, as the Kings brought in a few established veteran forwards via free agency, so Helenius will have to earn his ice time. He’ll provide physicality whenever he’s in the lineup, though, considering he averaged three hits per game last year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with the Kings in December of 2025.

Undisclosed
March 29, 2026
Helenius (undisclosed) is day-to-day and didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if he will play against St. Louis on Wednesday. Still, Alex Turcotte and Taylor Ward could both be in the lineup regardless of Helenius' availability. The 23-year-old Helenius has registered four goals, eight points, 34 shots on net and 128 hits across 45 appearances this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
AHL debut awaits this season
CLos Angeles Kings
March 22, 2022
Helenius is expected to join AHL Ontario after his season in Finland's Liiga ends, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Helenius hasn't shown much with JYP this year, logging nine points, 76 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 48 appearances. Despite the lackluster scoring numbers, the 2021 second-round pick is expected to get his first taste of North American hockey this spring. He'll need to get acclimated to the AHL, so the 19-year-old is unlikely to get into the NHL next year unless he has a hot start.
