COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard suffered a bruised knee with 7:17 to play in the first period Friday in Columbus and will not return to the game.

Howard was shaken up following a shot by Derick Brassard and needed some assistance getting off the ice.

No word yet on how long he's expected to be out.

He has been replaced by Joey MacDonald.

The Red Wings already are missing Chris Osgood, who is out six-to-eight weeks after having surgery on Tuesday for a sports hernia.

The injuries continue to add up, it will be extremely difficult for the next few weeks.

Discuss.

I wonder if he'd clear waivers though... Holmstrom too... its getting ugly right now

If Howard is going to be out any length of time longer than a couple days, I think we need to sign or trade for someone, MacDonald can't carry this load...

Leighton?

McCollum is getting called up. They are not going to be picking up a new goalie any time soon.

You can have Giguere.

Not a chance. He's playing very well in Sweden and has a strong resume.

McCollum is getting called up.

Scary... he has not made the transition to the AHL well (at all).
