PLAYER NEWS

Red Wings Darren Helm (DET - Center) News: Helm (back) will not return during the Red Wings' second round series against the Blackhawks but hasn't given up hope of coming back later on if the team advances, MLive.com reports. [+] Impact: A setback with Helm's injury, suffered two-and-a-half weeks ago in practice, led the Wings to decide to give the 26-year-old an extended rest. He said he feels pretty good and thinks he could get onto the ice right now, but added that that method hasn't worked for him so they're trying a new approach. Also, Helm said there has not been any discussion of having the back operated on this summer. (RotoWire - Wed. May 22, 2013) Joakim Andersson (DET - Center) News: Andersson picked up an assist against the Blackhawks in Game 3 on Monday. He also was a plus-1 and had two penalty minutes. [+] Impact: Andersson, a rookie with limited NHL experience, has tallied assists in back-to-back games, giving him four in 10 playoff contests. (RotoWire - Mon. May 20, 2013) Jimmy Howard (DET - Goaltender) News: Howard turned aside 39 of the 40 shots he faced in a Game 3 win over the Blackhawks on Monday. [+] Impact: The Wings now have a 2-1 lead in the series, and Howard has only let in one goal in each of Detroit's last two games.
