He has five assists in his last three games with Rochester, one goal and six assists in his last six games.
Curious what Rochester will do without their top performing center for three weeks, honestly.

Can someone give me a breakdown of the numerical rating? Luke what does 50 versus 60 mean? If this is a 100 point scale, are we talking NHL 94 Lemieux vs. Rayzor here?
In our scale, 50 would project to being league average at the NHL level.
The scale technically runs 20-80.
45 would be slightly below league average, 55, slightly above. 60 would be well above.
Hope that helps.

So basically he projects as a slightly better than league average forward, aka 2nd liner. Appreciate the explanation!
Very unimpressed by him in the wjc this far.
Other than Rimpinen, and maybe Alisuarua, that can be said of the entire Finn roster.

He was playing very good for a 18 y/o in the AHL as some will tell you here.
True, but I personally wasn’t expecting anything from any other player on that roster besides him.

In years of watching this tournament, I've noticed it's hard to be a one-man show.

Only caught few minutes of the game yesterday, but at one point he had the puck on a pp and literally all 4 other Finns were standing still. I could see the energy drain out of him.
The power move along the wall right before that was more impressive. I can't embed the video, but you can see it in the goal video here: IIHF - FIN - LAT 31.12.2024 - 2025 IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP - Game Centre Play by play

Another question I have is why isn't he playing center ice during this tournament? Again, a kid in his second pro season and post-draft year, I would expect the Fins to use him there.
I would think using the Sabre style of PP is going to suck the life out of the players and the fans.
The only time he's not at center is when he's the right hub, up high on the PP. They have flipped his winger around from Kiiskanen early in the tournament to Hynninen lately.

Helenius has been one of Finland’s better players since joining the team from the AHL’s Rochester Americans.

Ellis should leave the comedy schtick to others.

You made me go look to try and find what Matt Ellis said.
I like Stephen's work, one of my junior hockey follows. Eh.
Helenius is a ways off.
