Profile Contributed By: Kyle McMahon

History

2006-07:  Hellstrom was one of Bjorkloven’s most rugged defenders, totaling 104 PIM to tie for the team lead. He was far from an offensive catalyst, with just five assists in 39 games, but his team had several other high-scoring defensemen to shoulder the playmaking load. Hellstrom also played eight games for the Bjorkloven junior team, where he recorded two goals and two assists, in addition to 26 PIM. He was a member of Sweden’s World Junior squad.

Talent Analysis

Hellstrom has a solid frame that helps him in his own zone. He generally keeps it simple, and focuses on the defensive side of the game. He is a decent skater, and is capable of carrying the puck when necessary.

Future

Hellstrom is making his North American pro debut in 2007-08 with the AHL’s Peoria Rivermen.
