Helm (shoulder) is expected to return for either Friday's road game against the Sabres or Sunday's home tilt with the Rangers, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Re-signing Helm was a priority for Holland in the offseason, and he ultimately commanded a new contract valued at $3.85 million annually to take him through the 2020-21 campaign. That's a heavy deal to be sure, but Helm is quick on the rush and adept on special teams, so he'll be welcomed back with open arms.
