One thing Red Wings forward Darren Helm is known for is his impressive speed, something that he apparently passed on to his newborn daughter very quickly.
According to Wings’ beat reporter Bill Roose, Helm and his significant other were forced to deliver the new baby girl in their car on the side of the highway early Monday morning after she decided she just couldn’t wait until they arrived at the hospital:
#RedWings Darren Helm told story of his second daughter being born in his car on the side of I-96 freeway at 2:15 Monday morning.

Speed kills, but apparently it also breeds life. Congratulations to Darren & his family on their newest addition.
