2016-03-26 analysis Howard had a far-from-ideal outing on his 32nd birthday as the Penguins didn't let off the gas after putting four pucks past Mrazek in less than two periods.

2016-03-19 analysis Howard gets the start as regular netminder Petr Mrazek (illness) is under the weather.

2016-03-18 analysis Howard hasn't played very well in limited action this season, compiling an 8-10-5 record with a 2.82 GAA and .907 save percentage in 26 appearances. The 31-year-old netminder will look to get back on track Thursday in a surprisingly tough road matchup with a Blue Jackets squad averaging 2.77 goals per game at home this season, 12th in the NHL. With Petr Mrazek (illness) unavailable, Howard's first start in nine days resulted in his first win of March. He came within a minute of his second shutout of the season before allowing a power-play goal and received first-star honors for the strong effort.

2016-03-07 analysis After being outscored by a combined 9-3 mark over back-to-back losses this past week to Chicago -- both started by Petr Mrazek -- Howard, who took over for Mrazek in Sunday's game, will man the net Tuesday against a Columbus squad that is coming off a 6-0 loss to the Flyers on Saturday.
2016-03-07 update Howard is slated to start Tuesday's game against Columbus, foxsports.com reports.
2016-03-06 analysis Starter Petr Mrazek allowed a pair of goals early in this one, so Howard was pressed into duty just 6:19 into the tilt. The American put up a decent showing and has played well his last few times out, but Mrazek remains the lead option entering the final stretch of the season.
2016-03-06 update Howard stopped 19 of 21 shots after entering midway through the first period of Sunday's loss to the Blackhawks.
2016-03-01 analysis Howard has taken a back seat role to Petr Mrazek in net, but his last outing Feb. 21 was rather impressive, stopping 29 of the 30 shots he faced in an overtime loss to the Rangers. He'll get another shot at it Monday, but certainly faces a tough task against a Stars club second in the league in scoring (3.21 goals per game) on the season. It may be best to avoid him in both daily contests and seas Howard was a brick wall for most of the night, but the Wings still had to gut this one out in overtime after he allowed the tying tally with just 1:31 remaining. Petr Mrazek still has the upper hand in Detroit, but Howard has put up a .958 save percentage in his last two starts and appears to be rounding into his best form of the season.
2016-03-01 update Howard has received the starting nod for Monday's game against the Stars, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. Howard denied 39 of 41 shots in Monday's win over the Stars.

2016-02-21 analysis After being the Wings' unquestioned starter since the 2009-10, Howard has taken a back seat to Petr Mrazek in 2015-16. With a 2.92 GAA and a .903 save percentage, Howard's confidence in goal looks shot. In his last eight starts, Howard is 0-5-2 with a 4.27 GAA and a .872 save percentage. What's most alarming, though, is the fact that Howard allowed at least three goals in each of those appearances
2016-02-21 update Howard will be in the crease Sunday against the Rangers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
2016-02-05 analysis Not only has Detroit been taking loss after loss (three of them in overtime, at least) with Howard between the pipes, but he can't even blame a suspect offense -- the 31-year-old netminder has been atrocious over the course of this stretch, averaging nearly four goals per start with a save mark of .885. At this point, the only thing that should make the Wings start him over a healthy Petr Mrazek is a back-to-back set; their next one will be Valentine's Day and the day after. Howard has been absolutely terrible in his last seven starts, as he's posted a 0-3-3 record, including getting pulled back on Dec. 22. During this losing streak, the 31-year-old has registered a 3.72 GAA and .892 save percentage. With numbers like that, it should come as no surprise that the two-goalie experiment has ended in Detroit and Petr Mrazek has taken over the starting role on a full-time basis.
2016-02-05 update Howard was beaten five times on 32 shots Thursday in a 6-3 loss at the hands of the Panthers -- his seventh consecutive defeat. Howard will tend the twine on Thursday against the Panthers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

2016-01-24 analysis Howard seems unsettled in the role of backup, but too bad, so sad. Petr Mrazek is the Wings' top dog right now and Howard isn't doing a thing to wrestle the role away. He just isn't a safe activation right now, even in match-ups. Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill does not like to start goalies in back-to-back sets, so it makes sense that Howard gets the starting nod after Petr Mrazek worked a shutout Friday. It's been 12 days since Howard last played, and he hasn't won since Dec. 3, a span of six starts.
2016-01-24 update Howard made 31 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Ducks on Saturday night. He hasn't picked up a win since Dec. 3. Howard will protect the net at home Saturday night versus the Ducks, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

2016-01-09 analysis Howard has yet to play in 2016 since the Wings have given Petr Mrazek (14-8-3) the honors instead. However, coach Blashill shies away from giving either netminder both sides of a back-to-back set and with Mrazek scheduled to face the Ducks on Sunday, it only makes sense for Howard to give him a break as the Winged Wheel stops in Los Angeles for the fourth match of a six-game road trip. Howard has a lifetime record of 9-4-2 against the Kings and that is backed by a sharp save percentage of .927 and GAA of 2.12.
2016-01-09 update Howard will start in the crease Monday against the Kings, per Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill.
2015-12-29 analysis Yikes. It's the second consecutive start for which Howard was pulled. This time around, he was between the pipes for 31:43 with Wings coach Jeff Blashill giving him every opportunity to turn it around. However, that never came to fruition and Howard was eventually replaced by Petr Mrazek, who was perfect the rest of the way. It's been a rough for December for Howard as he has just one win this month, but in fairness, he had to face an average of 34 shots in four games leading up to last Tuesday's match with the Devils. It's clear that Howard needs to perform at a higher level, yet the same can be said about the defenders in front of him.
2015-12-29 update Howard was yanked Tuesday after giving up four goals on 14 shots to the Jets.
2015-12-27 analysis Howard was pulled from his last start against the Devils last Tuesday after he surrendered three goals on six shots. He'll look to turn things around Tuesday against a tough matchup with the Jets, who average 3.13 goals per game this season.
2015-12-27 update Howard will start between the pipes Tuesday against the Jets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
2015-12-23 analysis The Wings scored enough goals with Petr Mrazek in net that Howard ended up avoiding the loss, a piece of good luck that he didn't deserve. The Devils' first goal happened as a result of a Howard misplay right in front of his own net, and after he got beaten straight on by David Schlemko for the third one, coach John Hynes had seen enough. Mrazek did good work in relief, too, so Howard's not likely to be the one in net when the Wings get back in action Saturday. Howard hasn't lost in his last seven starts, going 4-0-3 in the process. It doesn't seem to matter who's starting in net for Detroit, they keep getting at least a point almost every night. It can't continue forever, but Howard is a fairly solid play on Tuesday.
2015-12-23 update Howard gave up three goals on six shots before getting the hook Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the Devils. Howard will be in net Tuesday night against the Devils, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

2015-12-18 analysis Howard has gotten the Red Wings at least a point in his last six starts, registering a 4-0-2 record. He hasn't gotten much in terms of goal support from his teammates, however, which has led to back-to-back overtime losses. The 31-year-old will look to snap his two-game losing streak Friday in a relatively favorable matchup against a Vancouver squad that has averaged 2.50 goals per game this season, 21st in the NHL. Given the strong performance by both netminders, expect Howard to continue to split starts with Petr Mrazek.
2015-12-18 update Howard will be protecting the net in Friday's match-up against the Canucks.
2015-12-17 analysis Howard has been sharp of late, posting a 1-0-2 record with a 1.91 GAA and .943 save percentage in his last three appearances.

2015-12-11 analysis Whenever there has been a back-to-back set on the schedule this campaign, Howard and Petr Mrazek each have been picking up a start. Mrazek worked between the pipes in a win over the Canadiens on Thursday, so the team will stay consistent with the trend and roll out Howard one day later. Historically, he has done well against the Devils based on a 2.01 GAA and .904 save percentage through five career regular-season games.

2015-12-04 analysis That's four wins in a row for Howard, with the caveat that he gave up three goals in each of the other three and hadn't posted a save mark higher than .909 in a month. He'll continue splitting duties with Petr Mrazek, who faltered his last time out, but nonetheless owns better season ratios than Howard. Howard's statistics for the season have been rather respectable, as he has compiled a 6-4-1 record to go along with a 2.40 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 11 games. He has let in three goals in four straight contests, though he did earn wins in the last three. He draws an interesting matchup at home against the Coyotes, who currently sit in third place in the Pacific Division.
