More Detroit injury news: Jimmy Howard tweaked his knee; Zetterberg to LTIR

Jimmy Howard

We’ve already written today about Stephen Weiss’s wonky groin. But that’s not the end of Detroit’s injury issues ahead of tomorrow’s game in Tampa Bay.

From MLive.com:

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard tweaked his knee in practice Wednesday at the Tampa Bay Times Forum and needs further tests to determine the extent of the injury.

The club recalled goalie Petr Mrazek from the Grand Rapids Griffins and placed captain Henrik Zetterberg on long-term injured reserve.

Jonas Gustavsson is expected to get the start in the Wings’ goal tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Zetterberg (back) won’t be eligible to return until Dec. 28 in Florida, and that’s at the earliest.

The Wings (15-9-8) have just one victory in their last four games. They start a four-game home stand Saturday versus the Penguins.
