The Detroit Red Wings have placed goaltender Jimmy Howard on injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday.
General manager Ken Holland confirmed that Howard will be "out a while," telling Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News that the team will see how the goaltender's body responds before providing a timeline for the injury.
Petr Mrazek relieved Howard, who suffered a leg injury midway through the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.
In the meantime, Detroit has recalled netminder Jared Coreau from Grand Rapids (AHL). The 25-year-old made his NHL debut this season in a 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
