Jimmy Howard produces shutout in key Detroit victory
Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard came up huge Wednesday night, turning aside all 30 shots he faced in a 3-0 shutout of the visiting Philadelphia Flyers.
What It Means:
Howard also registered the only assist in the game. The Wings' first two goals were unassisted, and Howard drew the lone assist on an empty-net goal by Kyle Quincey late in the third period. The veteran is peaking at the right time as the Wings try to make the playoffs for the 25th consecutive season.
Howard is 4-1-0 in his past five starts. His record on the season is 14-12-5. His goals against average is 2.72, and Howard's save percentage sits at .909.
