Helm (undisclosed) isn't expected to return Wednesday versus Seattle, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.
Scouting Report
His skating skills have not eroded even as he has moved into his mid-30s. He works hard every shift, kills penalties well and is a threat to score when his team is down a man. Is not a big point producer but is the type of player a coach can put on the ice to protect a late-game lead. Injuries have always been an issue for him.
Long Range Potential: Speedy veteran checker (when healthy).
