Jimmy Howard attributed with loss

Jimmy Howard surrendered three goals on 26 shots to take the loss in the Red Wing's 3-2 defeat to Tampa Bay on Monday.

Fantasy Implications: Howard was snakebit twice by Nikita Kucherov, one on a power-play goal on a wicked wrist-shot from the right circle, the other when Kucherov easily tapped in a puck lying in the crease between Howard's five-hole. Howard also conceded a shorthanded goal to Tyler Johnson, who scored on a breakaway after he stole the puck in his own zone. Howard's record now falls to 3-1-0, but he still maintains an excellent 1.97 GAA and .947 SV%. Howard may be in a timeshare with Petr Mrazek, decreasing his value for owners in weekly pools.
