The roster move comes the morning after Henrik Lundqvist was forced to make an early exit from Game 1 of the team's first-round series against Pittsburgh with an eye injury.
Lundqvist was labeled as day to day following the contest, and an update on his status is expected to be made later Thursday.
Hellberg, 25, posted a record of 30-20-3 at the AHL level this season, with a save percentage of .918.
