Helm's back MRI reveals no structural damage
Darren Helm - C - Detroit Red Wings
Jan. 28, 2013 - 3:10 PM ET

Darren Helm had a second MRI on his back Monday and although it revealed no structural damage, he isn't expected to return to the team's lineup this week.

"It's just a re-aggravation of an old injury," said GM Ken Holland. "There's a little inflammation, so he's going to get an anti-inflammatory and take a few days off." Helm injured his back while working out just before training camp began and he's played in just one game this year as a result.
