Howard surrendered six goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's preseason loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Howard entered the game with a preseason goals-against average of 1.98, but the Blackhawks went 2-for-5 on the man advantage and had some key regulars in the game, including Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith and Artemi Panarin. If you select the burgeoning backstop Petr Mrazek in fantasy drafts, handcuffing him to Howard would be an advisable strategy in many cases.
