Ouellet was re-assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

With Jimmy Howard day-to-day with a lower body injury, the Red Wings sent Ouellet down and brought Tom McCollum up for some depth at goalie. Ouellet has averaged close to 17 minutes in his eight games this season, but has managed just one goal and one assist. Still, he figures to return once Howard is completely healthy.
