Helfrich's week began with three consecutive multiple point games and concluded with an assist in a 4-1 victory over Utah on New Year's Eve helping the Condors to a 2-2-0 week.
"Helfy has been a great addition for us and a forward who plays in all situations," said Condors Head Coach Matt O'Dette. "We're looking for continued success from him this season."
