Helvig went 6-0-0 with three shutouts, a 1.22 goals-against average and a save percentage of .954 in seven appearances during the month.
The 21-year-old allowed two goals or less in six appearances and made at least 24 saves four times in January. Helvig recorded his first professional shutout on Jan. 11 against Greenville, and followed that up with two additional shutouts in his next three appearances, on Jan. 16 at Rapid City and on Jan. 25 against Jacksonville.

He is tied for second in the ECHL with three shutouts, ranks third with a 2.16 goals-against average and is ninth with a .918 save percentage.
