Howard will miss 2-to-4 weeks with the groin injury he suffered in Saturday's game, Chuck Pleiness of the Macomb Daily reports. Howard will miss an extended period of action with the groin injury, but the upcoming NHL All-Star break will give him nearly a week to recover without missing any games. Petr Mrazek will be the Red Wings' primary goaltender until Howard is ready to return to the ice.
