“Just a sprain,” Howard said today. “Dodged a bullet.”

Howard said he knew something didn’t feel right, which is why he immediately went to the bench moments after Joffrey Lupul fell on top of him at 6:11 of the third period of Saturday night’s game. Joey MacDonald came in to relief Howard and the Wings went on to beat the Maple Leafs, 4-2, at Joe Louis Arena.

“My arm just got caught underneath him,” Howard said. “The way my glove was my arm didn’t really spread out. He just landed on my shoulder.”

Szerdán talán már lesz. Addigig Joey Mac kezd a Hawks ellen. Faszom. Ki kéne ejteni őket a gecibe, az még viccesebb lenne, mint első körben.
