Injury: Howard has been placed on 48 hour goalie IR with a sore groin. dailyfaceoff.com Sat 10/18/14 2:56 PM

Howard stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Wings 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs last night, but must have suffered some type of groin injury in the process. The move to 48 hour goalie IR allowed the Red Wings to recall Petr Mrazek to backup Jonas Gustavsson tonight vs. Toronto. Howard is eligible to return on Tuesday.
