Analysis:

Tom McCollum was recalled after Howard left Friday's game with the injury, but it doesn't sound like Howard is in danger of missing significant time. Petr Mrazek, who stopped 22-of-23 shots in relief of Howard on Friday, would presumably get the start Sunday against Colorado if Howard doesn't receive clearance to play.
