Howard made 23 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Ducks on Saturday night. The winner was a heartbreaker -- it came on a tough backhander by Ryan Getzlaf with just 24 seconds remaining. Backhanders are the hardest shot to deal with because you can't read where they're headed, so Howard can certainly be excused for that goal. Continue to deploy him as you always have.
