TAMPA, Fla. -- Both starting goalies were injured and had to leave Tuesday night's game between the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Tampa Bay's Ben Bishop was hurt in the first period of the Lightning's 4-1 win, and Detroit's Jimmy Howard left in the second.
Bishop was injured while kicking out his right leg to make a pad save on Nick Jensen's shot from along the right boards. Bishop stayed down for a moment before skating gingerly to the bench.
Bishop did not return because of what the team said was a lower-body injury. Coach Jon Cooper said Bishop will be evaluated Wednesday.
Howard left with 12:41 remaining in the second following a goalmouth scramble involving Jensen and Tampa Bay's Erik Condra. Howard needed help skating off the ice and was unable to put weight on his right leg.
There was no other information immediately available about Howard's injury.
"I take complete blame on that one," Jensen said about Howard's injury. "The guy I stepped on at the red line got by me and created a 3-on-2, and I hustled back trying to get to the front of the net. I saw they got a shot and kind of panicked, tried to tie the guy up.
"I got hooked up around him, and I ran Jimmy. I'm not really sure what happened. I said, 'I'm sorry, it's completely my fault.' But it's hockey."
Detroit will call up goaltender Jared Coreau from their AHL affiliate for Friday's road game against the Panthers.
