The Detroit Red Wings are counting on Jimmy Howard to be their backup goalie.

So far, so good.

Howard made 31 saves, Henrik Zetterberg scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and Detroit beat the Vancouver Canucks, 3-1, on Thursday night.

"I think everybody in this dressing room believes I can do it," Howard said. "I just have to keep doing it consistently."
