Biography
Seth Henry Helgeson (born October 8, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman. He is currently playing with the Albany Devils of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL). Helgeson was selected by the Devils in the 4th round (114th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Prior to turning professional, Helgeson played four seasons (2009-2013) of NCAA Division I hockey with the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's ice hockey team.
On April 5, 2013, the Albany Devils of the American Hockey League (AHL) signed Helgeson to an amateur tryout agreement, allowing the defenseman to suit up with the AHL team for their final four games of the 2012–13 season.
On November 27, 2013, the New Jersey Devils of the NHL recalled Helgeson from the Albany Devils, under emergency conditions, however it turned out he was not needed and was returned to Albany after the morning skate.
After a strong training camp with the Devils for the 2014–15 season, Helgeson was recalled by New Jersey from Albany on November 11, 2014 to replace the injured Bryce Salvador, and immediately made his NHL debut, registering an assist in a 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild.
