Detroit —
Like quite a few Red Wings these days, Darren Helm isn't thrilled with the way he has started this season.
Without a point through five games, with a minus-3 rating and not playing with his usual energy, Helm isn't pleased.
"I don't have any excuses for it right now," Helm said. "It's just something I have to be way better."
Actually there is an excuse, if you want to call it that.
Remember, it was Helm who was involved in a major collision with prospect Jerome Verrier the opening drill of training camp that resulted in Helm suffering a slight shoulder separation and a concussion (Verrier broke his leg).
