6 - Darren Helm's career NHL playoff goals

Helm has played in 23 NHL regular season games during the last two seasons, scoring only one assist. In the playoffs he has played in 18 games last year (2 goals, 2 assists) and 20 so far this year (4 goals, one assist). A talented scorer in the WHL, Helm is showing that he knows how to step up when it matters. Despite playing a checking role, Helm's physical play and offensive talent makes him create chances almost every time he steps on the ice. In Game 4 his TOI was only 13:03, but he scored a goal, won 8 of 12 faceoffs, had 5 shots (only Hossa and Franzen had more) and 6 hits (most on the team). It looks like the Red Wings have found yet another gem.
