Returning against Jackets Howden (personal) will be in the lineup versus Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Howden missed just one game while attending to a personal matter but will be back in action Thursday. The 26-year-old forward is currently in the midst of an offensive upswing, having recorded one goal and seven helpers in his last eight contests. It's been a career year for Howden, having set new personal bests in goals (17) and points (30).

Sitting out Tuesday Howden (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Penguins, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Howden saw 13:08 of ice time versus the Kings on Sunday with no reported injury, so it's unclear why he is out of the lineup. The 26-year-old will be replaced by Jonas Rondbjerg in the lineup, though Nicolas Roy will pick up the extra minutes created in Howden's absence. The Golden Knights are playing the first contest of a four-game road trip Tuesday, which continues in Columbus on Thursday.

Tallies in Wednesday's win Howden scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Howden had seven assists over a four-game span from Feb. 8-27 before being held off the scoresheet Sunday versus the Devils. The 26-year-old bounced back Wednesday with his first goal since Jan. 20 against the Blues. The 26-year-old's recent run of playmaking has partially balanced out his offense. He's now at 17 goals and 13 assists through 60 contests -- this is the first time he's reached the 30-point mark in a season. Howden has added 105 shots on net, 98 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-9 rating while mainly playing on the third line.

Distributes trio of helpers Howden logged three assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Howden has been playmaking lately, and this was one of the best efforts of his career. He had a hand in goals by Keegan Kolesar, Nicolas Hague and Ivan Barbashev. Howden has seven helpers across his last four games, and he's up to 16 goals, 13 assists, 101 shots on net, 97 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 58 appearances in a career-best year. He was goal heavy early on, but his production is balancing out, and it looks like he's got some chemistry brewing with Barbashev and Kolesar on a new-look third line.

Impact Howden helped out on third-period tallies by Brandon Saad and Tomas Hertl as the Golden Knights finished off a comeback win. This was Howden's first multi-point effort since Dec. 27 versus the Sharks. The 26-year-old had been limited to just four points over his prior 18 outings. For the season, he's been a pleasant surprise in a bottom-six role, racking up a career-high 25 points (16 goals, nine assists), 98 shots on net, 96 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 56 appearances.

Impact Howden snapped a seven-game point drought when he helped out on a Zach Whitecloud tally in the second period.

Howden has matched his career high at 23 points (16 goals, seven assists), and he's added 93 shots on net, 96 hits, 42 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 55 appearances.

Game-time call against Blues Howden (illness) did travel with the team but will remain a game-time decision against the Blues on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Howden just brought a 10-game goal drought to a close with his tally against St. Louis on Monday, but he could now be in danger of missing out Thursday. If the 26-year-old forward is unable to give it a go, he figures to be replaced in the lineup by Tanner Laczynski, who was called up by the club Thursday.

In doubt Thursday Howden is dealing with an illness and may not travel with the team for Thursday's matchup with the Blues, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Considering the Knights are traveling for a road back-to-back if Howden isn't available versus St. Louis on Thursday, he shouldn't be expected to face the Stars on Friday either. The 26-year-old forward recently broke out of a 10-game goal drought with his tally versus the Blues on Monday, finding the back of the net for the first time in 2025.

Lights lamp Monday Howden scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blues.

Impact Howden ended a six-game slump with his tally. The 26-year-old playing well before that dry spell, but the Golden Knights are relatively healthy at forward now, so he's been limited to third-line duties. Overall, the physical forward has 16 goals, 22 points, 82 shots on net, 87 hits, 37 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 47 appearances. He needs two more points to set a new personal best.
