Red Wings' Jimmy Howard: Moving to long-term IR
Howard (knee) will be placed on long-term injured reserve, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis:
According to Ansar Khan of MLive.com, Howard worked with goalie coach Jeff Salajko on Thursday, but he still isn't ready to face shots. Khan also noted that Detroit's top netminder -- who's already missed the past 12 games -- will not return this month. In the meantime, you can likely expect rookie Jared Coreau to grab the lion's share of the status with Petr Mrazek playing second fiddle.
