Helm promoted from fourth line to play with Datsyuk

Detroit – In search of more scoring and better play overall Tuesday against the Sabres, the Red Wings juggled the lineup in practice Monday, and Coach Jeff Blashill said it is likely to remain that way for the game.

Blashill said he is moving Darren Helm up from the fourth line to play with Pavel Datsyuk and Brad Richards on the second line.

Teemu Pulkkinen, who sat out the 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers Sunday, will play on the fourth line with Drew Miller and Luke Glendening.

Tomas Jurco, who returned from a re-conditioning stint in Grand Rapids and played with Datsyuk and Richards Sunday, is out of the lineup again.
