Forward Kris Draper won't be ready to return for tomorrow's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets due his groin injury, prompting the Red Wings to recall prospect Darren Helm from Grand Rapids this morning. Helm played in three games last week while centering a line of Kirk Maltby and Dallas Drake.

In other injury news, MLive.com's Ansar Kahn reports that Tomas Holmstrom is eager to return to the lineup but the club will likely keep him out of action until next week as a precaution.
