Back-to-back Howard

TORONTO -- Both Jimmy Howard and Petr Mrazek were at Toronto's Air Canada Centre this morning but only one skated.

That was Petr Mrazek, who said he was backing up Howard for tonight's game against the Maple Leafs.

Howard will start in back-to-back games for the first time this season after making 20 of 22 saves in the 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild Friday night at home.

It will mark the first time this season that a Wings goaltender has played in back-to-back games that involved travel.
