Howard gave up four goals on 25 shots in a 4-3 OT loss to the Wild on Sunday. The Red Wings were flat in the third period, but despite an ugly stat line, Howie was great yet again. He has won four of his last six with a 2.74 GAA and .907 SV%. He will get another start tonight in a huge clash with the Blue Jackets.

Goalie Start: Howard gets the nod in both games of home-and-home vs... dailyfaceoff.com Sun 3/23/14 2:56 PM

Howard stopped 28 of 30 shots in a yesterday's 3-2 win in Minnesota. Howard looked sharp once again and has now won four of his last five starts with a 2.52 GAA and .918 SV%.

ALL GOALIES ARE CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT THE TIME OF PRINT Lots of action in the NHL with 11 games scheduled today. St Louis and Philadelphia will start things off this afternoon. Ryan Miller has been (CONFIRMED) for the Blues while Steve Mason is (LIKELY) for the Flyers. Miller has been lights out since his trade to St. Louis with a 7-1-1 record.  He has really found a home with the Blues.  Mason has 3 straight wins so this should be a good contest.  Would not go against Miller though.  Tampa Bay is at Pittsburgh and we will have two goaltenders who are going in different directions.  Ben Bishop (LIKELY) has 5 straight wins for the Lightning, while Marc-Andre Fleury (LIKELY) has lost 3 straight for the Penguins.  Like Bishop in this one.  Detroit faces Minnesota and Jimmy Howard has been (CONFIRMED) for the Red Wings. Darcy Kuemper has been (CONFIRMED) for the Wild.  Kuemper has played very well this season with a 12-5-4 record a 2.22 GA and a .923 SP.  He has allowed only 5 goals in his last 3 games. Go with Kuemper. Robin Lehner is (CONFIRMED) for Ottawa against Dallas, while Kari Lehtonen is (LIKELY) for the Stars. Lehner has really had a tough year with a 3.31 GA and a .904 SP.  Lehtonen has been pretty solid this year with 25 wins and a 2.52 GA.  He did get lit up in his last game against Pittsburgh allowing 5 goals.  Still like him in this game.  Roberto Luongo is (LIKELY) for Florida against Los Angeles, with Jonathan Quick (LIKELY) for the Kings. Quick and Luongo each have 22 wins on the year, and they have save percentages that are very close for the year.  But like Quick in this one, as he has allowed only 11 goals in his last 5 games. The Rangers will be at New Jersey today and Henrik Lundqvist is (LIKELY) for New York while Martin Brodeur is (CONFIRMED) for the Devils. With Cory Schneider struggling this season, Brodeur has gotten a lot of ice time recently. Lundqvist has won 5 of his last 7 games, while Brodeur has lost 2 straight.  Like Henrik!   Montreal travels to Toronto in a game between Canadien teams.  Carey Price is (LIKELY) to be in goal for the Canadiens, and James Reimer is (LIKELY) in goal for the Maple Leafs. Price has won 4 of his last 5 games, while Reimer has lost 5 of 6 in March, and his 3.29 GA is ugly.  Take Price. Cam Ward is (LIKELY) for Carolina against Winnipeg, which will (LIKELY) start Al Montoya. Ward has had a really tough year with injuries and poor play.  He lost to Boston 5-1 in his last game.  ...

Howard allowed four goals on 30 shots as the Red Wings dropped Sunday's contest vs. the Blackhawks 4-1. Howard played very well until a late second period goal seemed to unravel the Red Wings. Chicago added two more in the third and the rest is history.

Tim Thomas lost the past two after winning the first 2 while filling in for Lehtonen.  Facing an upbeat Pittsburgh Penguins team is not a good formula for success.  The Pens had a good practice with encouraging results from some injured players.
