Helenius likely to start 12-13 in the minors
Riku Helenius - G - Tampa Bay Lightning
June 16, 2012 - 11:15 AM ET
The recent acquisition of Anders Lindback isn't great news for Riku Helenius.
Lindback and Mathieu Garon are projected to be the Lightning's top two goaltenders going into the 2012-13 campaign. If Helenius has a stunning training camp or one of the two above him in the depth charts suffer an injury, then Helenius might defy the odds and play. However, right now it looks like he'll have no fantasy value in 2012-13. The good news from his perspective is that Garon's contract expires in the summer of 2013 and the Lightning might go with a combination of Helenius and Lindback in 2013-14.
