More Clipped Wings

Tomas Holmstrom and goaltender Jimmy Howard added their names to the Wings injured list. Both Wings incurred an injury during the January 14^th game at Columbus against the Blue Jackets.

Jimmy Howard

Howard bruised his knee during the first period of the game. The injury likely occurred while he was trying to block Derick Brassard’s shot on goal. He did not return for the rest of the night. Howard is expected to only be out for one game.

Tomas Holmstrom

Holmstrom broke his right hand late into the third period.  RJ Umberger took a shot at the net which hit Holmstrom directly in the hand. He won’t need surgery to fix the break but he is likely to be out three to four weeks.

In the end, the Wings lost the game 3-2 in a shootout.
