Howard returns, but damage done as Wings fall to Pens, 4-1

Blake Comeau picked up an assist and a goal as the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Detroit Red Wings, 4-1.

Stephen Weiss picked up his 7th goal of the season for Detroit and goaltender Petr Mrazek made 13 saves on just 17 shots, but was pulled after the 2nd period for Jimmy Howard, who made his return to the lineup after being sidelined for a month with a groin injury.

The Red Wings will return home to the Joe Louis Arena for just two straight games throughout the rest of February, beginning this Saturday night at 7 pm against Winnipeg.
