Howden (lower body) will be activated from long-term injured reserve prior to Sunday's game versus the Oilers, per SinBin.vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Howden will miss his 20th consecutive game Friday, but that looks to be the end of his absence. The 27-year-old will be a bottom-six option upon his return Sunday. He will need to be activated from long-term injured reserve to officially make his return.

Howden (lower body) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Howden has already missed the requisite time, so he can return whenever he's healthy. Vegas has not provided an update on his status since he was placed on injured reserve Jan. 20. Once healthy, he'll contend for bottom-six minutes.

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.
