Samuel Helenius Facts

NHL Rights: Los Angeles Kings / Signed
Drafted: 2021 round 2 #59 overall by Los Angeles Kings
Agency: Premium

Being the son of former goon Sami Helenius, he shares some of the qualities with his father relating to the physical side of the game. Helenius throws his body around a lot and he does that well, which makes him a menacing force on the forecheck. Once the play gets along the boards in either zone, Helenius is a tough customer and hard to escape due to size and massive wingspan. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
