Howard stopped 23 of 25 shots in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Howard did a strong job of quieting a dangerous offense, but his fellow Red Wings couldn't get any pucks behind Sabres goalie Linus Ullmark. Howard dropped to 1-5-0 with a 3.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage in six games. Coach Jeff Blashill has split the starts between Howard and Jonathan Bernier evenly this season -- if that holds true, the latter would be in line for Sunday's contest against the Blues.
