Goaltender Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings left Friday night's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets with a knee injury and has not returned.
Red Wings’ Jimmy Howard Leaves Friday Game With Bruised Knee

Joey Macdonald replaced Howard. The Wings are already down one goalie on the year after losing Chris Osgood to a groin injury. He's not expected to be back for a few more weeks, either. Hopefully Howard's not out too long.
