Howard allowed three goals on seven shots before being replaced by Calvin Pickard in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Howard owns a 4.26 GAA, an .876 save percentage, and is 2-16-1 in 19 appearances this season. More opportunities for him to start games are coming, with Jonathan Bernier (lower body) being out until after the All-Star break. However, Howard hasn't won since Oct. 29, so best to avoid him at all costs in fantasy.

Howard will tend the road twine Tuesday versus the Islanders, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard is expected to enjoy increased opportunities since Jonathan Bernier (lower body) will be out through the All-Star break. The Red Wings are an absolute mess, though, and Howard isn't their salvation. He's on an 11-game losing streak dating back to October, and he's posted an .856 save percentage in that stretch.

As a result of Jonathan Bernier's lower-body injury, Howard might be deployed Tuesday against the Islanders as well as the weekend's back-to-back homestand against the Penguins and Panthers, respectively, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard has lost 11 consecutive games, with the Red Wings struggling mightily on both ends of the ice. The disenchanted Original Six club has a putrid minus-75 goal differential, and there's simply not much faith in the veteran netminder to reverse the team's fortunes. Look elsewhere if you need goalie wins for fantasy purposes.

Howard gave up five goals on 27 shots Sunday in a 5-1 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
The season-long struggles continue for Howard, who is winless in his last 11 outings and hasn't recorded a 'W' since Oct. 29. He's now a miserable 2-15-1 with a 4.11 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Howard will guard the home cage for Sunday's game against the Sabres, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old will draw a start for the first time since Jan. 5, when he gave up three goals on 26 shots in a loss to Chicago. Howard has been outstanding against the Sabres in his career, going 11-4-3 along with a 2.09 GAA and .924 save percentage in 19 appearances, though his recent stretch has been horrible, and he can only be started with caution.

Howard allowed three goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings gave Howard a two-goal cushion after one period, but he gave it back in a 45-second span in the second. Adam Boqvist's go-ahead goal would be the dagger for the goalie, who is now 0-9-1 in his last 10 outings. He fell to 2-14-1 with a 4.04 GAA and an .884 save percentage through 17 starts. There's little reason to consider the 35-year-old from a fantasy perspective.

Howard will guard the crease for Sunday's game in Chicago, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard will make his first appearance since Dec. 28 after he allowed 10 goals on 75 shots over his last two games. The 35-year-old veteran owns a 4.11 GAA and .884 save percentage on the year. Combine those numbers with his 2-13-1 record and Howard can be largely ignored in most fantasy formats.

Howard made 25 saves in a 5-4 loss to the Panthers on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately, Howard had a 3-1 lead early in the second, but the kitties scored four unanswered goals. He hasn't won since Oct. 29 and has gone 0-8-1 in 10 starts since. Howard should not be active under any circumstance.

Howard will guard the cage during Saturday's road matchup with the Panthers, Doug Plagens of The Panthers' Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard had a rough outing in his last start Sunday against Arizona, surrendering five goals on 45 shots en route to a 5-2 loss. The veteran backstop will try to bounce back in a tough road matchup with a Florida squad that's averaging 3.65 goals per game at home this campaign, fourth in the NHL.

Howard allowed five goals on 45 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Howard missed 10 games with a groin injury and Sunday was his first game back. His 40 saves were a season high, but he also gave up five goals for the fourth time in 15 appearances this season. Howard is a miserable 2-12-1 with a 4.02 GAA and .887 save percentage.
