Helm (shoulder) won't play during the opening weekend, but should return the following week, Ansar Khan of MLive reports.
Analysis:Helm was placed on IR earlier in the week, but is eligible to return at any time. He played in 75 games last season, scoring a career-high 15 goals while adding 18 assists for a career-high 33 points. His return to the ice will be a big boost to the Wings' forward depth.
