What It Means:

Howard has gone 6-7-1 in 18 games this season. It's a somewhat small sample size, but he is on pace for career-best marks in both save percentage (.934) and goals-against average (1.96).

Our models project Howard for 24.5 saves, 2.0 goals against and a big 62.0 percent chance of scoring a win tonight. He is numberFire's top-projected fantasy goalie -- both in terms of overall points and points-per-dollar -- on Wednesday's four-game slate.
