VGK@NYI: Sorokin with a great save against Brett Howden | New York Islanders Ilya Sorokin (NYI) makes a save against Brett Howden (VGK) at 14:37 of the Game

DECEMBER 10 • NHL.COM

Goal, assist in overtime win Howden scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact Howden scored just 36 seconds into the game. He also had a hand in Jack Eichel's overtime tally with the secondary helper. Howden has the best opportunity of his career right now as the second-line center between Mitch Marner and Mark Stone. The 27-year-old Howden has put up four points over his last six contests. Overall, he has five goals, nine points, 28 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-2 rating over 24 appearances. While the results aren't there quite yet, he's a fine speculative option for fantasy managers as long as he has two talented wingers to work alongside.

Strikes for goal Howden scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.

Impact With the Golden Knights nearly at full health, Howden got a great assignment as the second-line center between Mitch Marner and Mark Stone. It paid off in the form of a first-period goal for Howden, who is likely a placeholder in that spot for William Karlsson (lower body). That said, Karlsson's return isn't imminent. Howden's worth a speculative add in fantasy due to his current lineup placement, but he has a modest four goals, two assists, 21 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-4 rating over 19 appearances this season.

Scores early in overtime loss Howden scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Howden had to play a season-high 16:36 in this contest, as he filled in at center for William Karlsson (lower body), who left after the first period. The 27-year-old Howden has scored three goals over 10 appearances this season, and he's added 10 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-5 rating. He's nowhere near the pace that saw him earn 23 goals and 40 points in 80 regular-season outings last year, so most fantasy managers can likely find a better depth forward than Howden on the waiver wire.

Gets goal in win Howden scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Howden's goal tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, and the Golden Knights added three more tallies in the last five minutes to run away with the win. The 27-year-old has two points, four shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-4 rating over six appearances this season. He's been mainly in a bottom-six role, and he'll likely fill in as a center while Colton Sissons (undisclosed) is sidelined.

Nets goal Thursday Howden scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Howden has a goal, two shots and five hits over his first two games of the season. The 27-year-old racked up 23 goals and 40 points in 80 regular-season outings last year, but his 18.4 shooting percentage is a red flag for regression. It doesn't help that he's starting 2025-26 in a fourth-line role, though he's often one of the first players to move up when injuries strike or head coach Bruce Cassidy wants to shuffle the forward trios. Howden's physicality gives him a decent floor in fantasy, but don't expect a repeat of last year's offense.
