Red Wings put Jimmy Howard on 7-day IR, recall Jared Coreau
DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings have put goaltender Jimmy Howard on seven-day injured reserve and called up Jared Coreau from the Grand Rapids Griffins to take his spot on the roster.
Howard was hurt Tuesday night in a 4-1 loss at Tampa Bay. He left the game in the second period, unable to put weight on his right leg. Howard is 5-7 with a 1.96 goals-against average this season.
Coreau has played in one NHL game, a 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh earlier this month.
