Dallas Stars swoop in and sign goalie of the Pittsburgh Penguins

Magnus Hellberg is expected to join the AHL affiliate team of the Dallas Stars, which is the Texas Stars, where he will likely begin the season.

The 33-year-old Magnus Hellberg has definitely been an NHL journeyman, as he has spent time with multiple teams around the league. He was originally drafted by the Nashville Predators in 2011, and following that ended up playing for the New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Ottawa Senators, and most recently the Pittsburgh Penguins. He can now add Dallas to his resume.

Magnus Hellberg only appeared in three NHL games last season with the Penguins, and had a 1-0-0 record with a very nice .922 save percentage. Impressive numbers for a guy who hasn't seen much NHL action. Despite this, he was sent to the AHL and played 19 games for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, where he had a 9-8-2 record and a 2.92 GAA with a .905 save %.

The NHL career numbers for Magnus Hellberg aren't the greatest as he's only played in 26 games and recorded an 8-8-1 record, 2.50 GAA and an abysmal .890 save %.

Magnus Hellberg does have decent international experience too, having played for Sweden at the 2022 Winter Olympics. He also spent some time in the KHL from 2017 to 2021.

This is likely a depth goalie signing for the Dallas Stars as they are pretty solid in net at the moment, but if Magnus Hellberg gets called up, he will be ready to prove himself, like he's done countless amount of times with other teams.
