Jimmy Howard Expected To Start Against Lightning
6 years agoDetroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard is the likely starter for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Howard was stellar in a win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday, allowing two goals on 40 shots. The veteran netminder has a 9-6-3 record to go along with a 2.66 goals-against average and .923 save percentage. He has been one of the Red Wings' top players this season. With that in mind, Howard does face an incredibly tough test with the Lightning who rank first in goals per game (3.82). He has a 5-7-2 record against them in the regular season. Howard is a fantastic sell-high candidate for fantasy managers, but he should be avoided on Tuesday's slate.
