DETROIT – After two brutal injury-plagued seasons in Detroit, forward Darren Helm regrouped in 2014-15 by posting career-high numbers and returning to his speedy, game-changing ways.
Appearing in 75 games this season, Helm was a regular in the Red Wings lineup after spending significant stretches on the disabled list throughout much of the past two seasons. In the lockout-shortened 2012-13 schedule, the 28-year-old appeared in just one game and spent the remainder of the season sidelined with a back injury. Again in 2013-14, he appeared in just 42 games as a variety of injuries forced him to miss half of the season.
