DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings recalled center Tomas Nosek from the Grand Rapids Griffins Sunday under emergency conditions.
Darren Helm suffered a lower-body injury (left leg) in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Colorado and is listed as day-to-day. Mitch Callahan also is banged up. If neither is available for Monday's game against the Buffalo Sabres at Joe Louis Arena (7:30 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit), then Nosek will make his season debut for the Red Wings.
Nosek, 24, has 15 goals and 40 points in 49 games for Grand Rapids this season and is currently tied for fourth on the team in scoring.
