Howard will yield to Jonas Gustavsson for Saturday's game against the Flyers, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Howard has played great so far this season, going 3-1-2 with a sub-2.00 goals-against average, but Detroit wants to keep him fresh throughout the season. It helps to have a quality backup like Gustavsson, who had a shutout in his first start of the year.
