Helm visited a specialist in New York on Monday but received the same diagnosis of rest and medication for the strained ligament in his back. Holland admitted that Helm is frustrated that the injury is not healing as quickly as hoped, but Holland noted the Red Wings will be conservative with the injury and called Helm's recovery a "slow process." It sounds like it could be quite a while before Helm is back on the ice and any owners that were holding out for a quicker return should move on now.
