Helm and Holmstrom, both nursing groin injuries, have left practice halfway through.
Not great news for either player as they were hoping to draw back into the lineup shortly. Holmstrom scored six goals and 15 points in 33 games while being shuffled around the lineup.
Holmstrom, who suffered the injury in Nashville, was placed on short-term injured reserve Thursday. He has yet to start skating, but hopes to do so Monday
Holmstrom is hoping to get back into the lineup on Tuesday. The net presence has six goals and 15 points in 33 games.
On the fourth line, Cory Emmerton is starting with Drew Miller and Tomas Holmstrom.
Holmstrom moves from the first to the fourth line which should severely affect his fantasy hockey value. Through 14 games, Holmstrom has registered a goal and five points.
Danny Cleary, who has no points in the last seven games was replaced by Tomas Holmstrom on the top line.
Holmstrom has been quietly productive with a goal and four points over seven games. Look for him to stick in the lineup as long as he continues to fill the net.
