Howard has been confirmed as Saturday's starter against Boston by Bruins play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards.
EDGE Analysis
Howard has held each of his past 14 opponents to no more than three goals, and he'll look to extend that streak against a Bruins team that averages only 2.72 goals per game despite featuring one of the league's most dangerous top lines. The Red Wings have bounced back nicely after an awful start to the season, so owners who bought low on Howard have reaped the benefits recently.

Howard stopped 33 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Staked to a 3-0 lead, the veteran netminder had squandered it before the nine-minute mark in the third period, but Howard held on for the victory thanks to Todd Bertuzzi's game-winner. He's now got an impressive 6-1-1 record in November with a 2.34 GAA and .930 save percentage, but Howard hasn't posted those kinds of numbers over a full season in a long time.

Howard will patrol the crease in Wednesday's home game against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Howard struggled during his last start Monday against Columbus, surrendering three goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Jonathan Bernier for the final two periods of the eventual 7-5 loss. The American netminder will look to bounce back and pick up his eighth victory of the season in a home matchup with a Blues team that's only averaging 2.25 goals per game on the road this campaign, 27th in the NHL.

Howard stopped only 13 of 16 shots before getting the hook during the first intermission of Monday's 7-5 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The switch didn't wake up Detroit's defense -- Jonathan Bernier also gave up three goals over the final two periods, and on one less shot -- but it did at least pump some life in the offense. Howard has still posted strong numbers in November, winning five of eight starts with a .931 save percentage.

Howard will start in goal Monday against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings' netminder has been solid of late, going 4-1-1 in his last six starts and not allowing more than two goals in any one of the games. Meanwhile, Howard will face the Blue Jackets who enter play Monday having dropped two of their last three games.

Howard will defend the cage at home against the Sabres on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard is in charge of stalling a Buffalo team that has won eight straight games, but Detroit has emerged victorious from seven of its past 10 outings, meaning this Atlantic Division clash could be tightly contested. Howard is 7-6-2 with a 2.60 GAA and .924 save percentage -- those are robust peripherals, but the veteran goalie rarely gets shutouts anymore and that makes him far less appealing in DFS contests.

Howard will start Wednesday's game versus Boston, Jack Edwards of NESN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings' netminder has won four of five starts and comes into Wednesday's game playing as well as any goalie in the league. On the year, Howard is 6-6-2 with a 2.64 GAA and .922 save percentage, meanwhile, he has not allowed three goals in a start since Nov. 1. Keep in mind tonight's contest will be Howard's first action against Boston this season.

Howard will start in goal against host Ottawa on Thursday, Callum Fraser of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard reportedly will be countered by another veteran in Craig Anderson, as the team attempts to nail down its fifth consecutive win. Howard is 6-5-2 with a 2.69 GAA and .920 save percentage, and now he gets to face a Senators team that has gone 3-5-2 in its past 10 games.

Howard made 24 saves en route to a 6-1 home win over the Coyotes on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was an important victory for Howard, as he now has a winning record (6-5-2) to support a robust .920 save percentage through 13 games. The veteran's hard work in the cage led to a fourth straight win for the Winged Wheel, and it's probably only a matter of time before he puts pen to paper on that multi-year contract extension that's rumored to be coming his way.

Howard will defend the home net against the Coyotes on Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit's traditional backup, Jonathan Bernier, faced a career-high 52 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes, so Howard will punch in for work facing a Coyotes team that he's had a fair amount of success handling in his career based on an 11-4-3 record, 2.50 GAA and .919 save percentage. At the rate Howard's going, he'll surpass last year's win total of 22, but the elite NHL backstops will roughly double that total when it's all said and done.
