DeKeyser, Helm close

DETROIT -- It looks like Danny DeKeyser is a quick healer.

DeKeyser was hurt in the third period of the Wings' exhibition game in Pittsburgh Sept. 30.

"I just kind of twisted it," DeKeyser said. "I kind of got bumped in the boards and twisted it in the corner and played another shift, wasn't really feeling right. After that game, I took my skate off and kind of knew it."

The original diagnosis was that DeKeyser had strained ligaments in his left foot and would miss three to four weeks.

But DeKeyser returned to practice this week and was able to participate almost fully.
