6 years agoDetroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard will be between the pipes on Thursday night against the New York Rangers. Howard allowed three goals on 44 shots during a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. The 33-year-old, born in Syracuse, New York, has owned the Rangers in his career. He has an 8-3-3 record against them with a 1.75 goals-against average and .948 save percentage. The Red Wings are mired in an eight-game losing streak while Howard has lost his past five starts. Dylan Larkin (back) and Mike Green (virus) are also out for the contest. While history shows Howard has been downright dominant against his boyhood team, all signs point to tonight not going his way. Avoid him for fantasy purposes.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
