rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) The Detroit Red Wings center suffered a fractured cheekbone after being hit with a deflected puck during an informal practice today at the Troy Sports Center. Helm will learn on Saturday whether he needs surgery, after he sees a specialist, who will look at his X-rays. http://www.mlive.com...m_has_frac.html Edited November 3, 2012 by rrasco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted November 5, 2012 No surgery required, just need for the swelling to come down and the stitches to be removed, per Ansar Khan. Wings' Helm won't need surgery for fractured cheekbone. Just stitches and swelling.shouldnt be out long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, since before the playoffs, he was injured leading into the playoffs and the first game back landed his wrist on a skate and severed tendons in his wrist. Get well soon Helmer, we miss you in Detroit and hope you will be ready to play when an agreement is signed!
