Deposits goal Howden scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Impact Howden is up to three goals in six games this season, which is pretty good work for a fourth-liner. He may not stay in that role much longer -- Vegas swapped Howden and Tanner Pearson mid-game Saturday. The Golden Knights' wing depth is a little shaky, so Howden may get a chance to see more middle-six opportunities throughout the year. He brings a physical edge, though he's produced just four hits and five blocked shots in addition to 15 shots on net and a minus-3 rating so far.

Pots goal Wednesday Howden scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Howden had a productive game as the fourth-line center, though he saw 13:19 of ice time. The 26-year-old has played all over the Vegas lineup in recent years, so it's no surprise to see him earn more ice time than his role would suggest. The center had 19 points in 72 regular-season outings last year. Howden can offer a little depth scoring and physicality, but he's unlikely to be a factor on the power play, so he has limited fantasy utility.
