Howden (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Vegas recalled Jonas Rondbjerg from AHL Henderson in a corresponding move. Howden has missed the last five games and isn't expected to return until after February's Olympic break. He has accounted for nine goals, 15 points, 46 shots on net and 66 hits across 39 appearances this season.

Howden (lower body) is not an option for Monday's home matchup against Philadelphia, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to not being available Monday, general manager Kelly McCrimmon relayed that Howden is not expected to play before the Olympic break, according to SinBin.vegas. It wouldn't be surprising to see Howden land on injured reserve in the near future as a result.

Howden (lower body) won't play Saturday versus Nashville, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Howden also missed the Golden Knights' previous three games due to the injury. He has nine goals and 15 points in 39 outings in 2025-26. With Howden and Colton Sissons (upper body) unavailable, Tanner Laczynski and Alexander Holtz will be in Saturday's lineup.

Howden (lower body) won't be in action against Los Angeles on Wednesday, per Sin Bin Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Howden was rolling offensively prior to getting hurt, producing six points in his last nine contests, including four goals. Once given the all-clear, the Calgary native should be capable of producing between 30 and 40 points this year, assuming he doesn't spend too much longer on the shelf. While not officially ruled out, the Knights' back-to-back likely means that Howden will also be out against Toronto on Thursday.

Howden isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Sharks due to a lower-body injury, SinBin.vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howden is considered day-to-day due to his injury, and he'll have a few days to rest before Wednesday's matchup against the Kings. Alexander Holtz will take his place in the lineup against San Jose. Howden has logged points in six of his last nine appearances, recording four goals, two assists, 12 hits, three blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 14:59 of ice time across that span.

Howden scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Howden has scored in consecutive contests, and he's earned two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The 27-year-old forward started the season slow, but he's picking up the pace in the middle stretch while filling a third-line role. He's up to nine goals, 15 points, 45 shots on net, 66 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances so far.

Howden scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Howden has three goals and two helpers over his last seven outings. With the Golden Knights healthier up front, he's slipped back into a bottom-six role. The 27-year-old forward is at eight goals, 14 points, 42 shots on net, 66 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 37 appearances this season.

Howden scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Howden has scored in consecutive games after a stretch of six contests without a point. The 27-year-old has chipped in a bit more offense in December, but he's still far away from consistent. For the season, he has seven goals, 11 points, 38 shots on net, 56 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 32 appearances.

Howden scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Howden ended a six-game slump when he opened the scoring just 1:46 into the contest. That set the tone for a five-goal first period for the Golden Knights in this blowout win. Howden is up to six goals, 10 points, 36 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-1 rating over 31 appearances this season. While regression has hit him hard this year, the 27-year-old is in no danger of losing his place in the lineup while both Jack Eichel (lower body) and William Karlsson (lower body) are out, as Vegas has had to dig deep to maintain its center depth.

Howden scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Howden scored just 36 seconds into the game. He also had a hand in Jack Eichel's overtime tally with the secondary helper. Howden has the best opportunity of his career right now as the second-line center between Mitch Marner and Mark Stone. The 27-year-old Howden has put up four points over his last six contests. Overall, he has five goals, nine points, 28 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-2 rating over 24 appearances. While the results aren't there quite yet, he's a fine speculative option for fantasy managers as long as he has two talented wingers to work alongside.
