DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings have taken another hit on defense.
Detroit put rookie Brendan Smith on
injured reserve Monday and he will be out two to four weeks with a
sprained right shoulder.

The Red Wings also sent goaltender
Thomas McCollum to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins. They called up and
forward Tomas Tatar from the Griffins along with goalie Petr Mrazek to
eventually give Jimmy Howard a break. Howard has played in all of
Detroit's eight games this season because backup Jonas Gustavsson has
been out with a groin injury.
Detroit recently got banged-up
defensemen Jonathan Ericsson and Jakub KIndl on the ice and has been
without defensemen Ian White and Carlo Colaiacovo because of injuries.
