DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said the injury to goaltender Jimmy Howard does not appear to be significant.



Holland called it an upper-body injury.



"It doesn't appear to be anything significant, day-to-day,'' Holland said. "Looks like a strain or a sprain. He's going to go for a precautionary MRI, but he looked to be OK.''



He added: "Unless the tests come back anything different, doctors don't think so (it's serious).''



Holland said the club likely will recall somebody on Sunday to back-up Joey MacDonald for Monday's game against Chicago.
