Top Brett Howden News

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Garners assist in win

    Howden notched an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.

    Howden snapped a seven-game point drought when he helped out on a Zach Whitecloud tally in the second period. The 26-year-old forward has yet to capitalize on an improved third-line situation, as the Golden Knights have had him centering Brandon Saad and Mark Stone at even strength. 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.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Good to go

    Howden (illness) will play Friday versus the Stars, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    Howden missed one game but appears to be ready to return. His placement on the fourth line suggests he'll be eased back into action. Howden had been limited to one goal over his previous seven outings prior to his absence. Alexander Holtz will come out of the lineup with Howden returning.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Not playing Thursday

    Howden (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Blues, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

    Howden has been dealing with an illness since Tuesday and is still not feeling well enough to play. Tanner Pearson will move up the lineup while Tanner Laczynski draws in to cover Howden's absence. The Golden Knights play again Friday in Dallas.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: 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.

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: 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.

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Lights lamp Monday

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

    Howden ended a six-game slump with his tally. The 26-year-old played 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.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Assists in consecutive contests

    Howden notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    This was Howden's second straight game with an assist. Five of his six helpers this season have come over the last nine contests, as he has started to balance his contributions a bit following a goal-heavy start to the campaign. For the season, he's at 21 points, 68 shots on net, 69 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 40 appearances. Howden looks to be secure in his spot on the third line for now.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Records helper in win

    Howden notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

    Howden had gone two games without a point, his longest drought in three weeks. The 26-year-old ended the short dry spell when he set up Tanner Laczynski for the opening goal at 4:53 of the first period. Howden hasn't done much playmaking this year -- he's racked up 15 goals and five assists to get to the 20-point mark for the third time in seven NHL campaigns. He's added 66 shots on net, 67 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 39 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Nets goal in win

    Howden scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flames.

    Howden is on a surge with five goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 26-year-old forward's goal was the game-winner in the shutout, as he opened the scoring 15:59 into the second period. He's matched last year's point total (19) in half the time, racking up 15 goals and four assists through 36 contests after requiring 72 games to get to that mark in 2023-24. This season, he's added 60 shots on net, 63 hits, 30 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-5 rating while filling a middle-six role.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: One of each Friday

    Howden scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Howden was involved in the Golden Knights' last two goals. He set up Pavel Dorofeyev's tally at 5:46 of the third period before adding an empty-netter in the final minute. Howden has multiple points in three of his last four outings, and he's up to 14 goals, four assists, 57 shots on net, 63 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 35 appearances. He played at center Friday but has often been on the wing. Howden is on pace to shatter his career high of 23 points from his rookie year with the Rangers in 2018-19.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Two more points in win

    Howden scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-4, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

    Howden looks set to take on increased responsibilities while Ivan Barbashev (upper body) is on the mend. The 26-year-old Howden has three goals and five points over his last four games. He's typically a bottom-six player when the Golden Knights are healthy, but he's moved up to cover for injuries in previous seasons. Howden has 13 goals, three assists, 55 shots on net, 57 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Goal, assist in win

    Howden scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

    Howden set up William Karlsson for the go-ahead goal early in the third period before adding an empty-netter himself to seal the win. The 26-year-old Howden has two goals and an assist over his last three outings, and this was his first multi-point effort since his two-goal game Nov. 29 versus the Jets. He's at 12 goals, two helpers, 54 shots on net, 55 hits, 27 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 32 contests this season, playing mainly in a middle-six role.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Scores shortie Saturday

    Howden scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton.

    Howden took advantage of a mistake from Stuart Skinner, who tripped and fell while playing the puck behind his goal when the Oilers had the man advantage, to score for the first time since the forward's two-goal performance in a 4-3 win over the Jets on Nov. 29. Howden has 11 goals and one assist across 30 appearances this season.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Two-goal game Friday

    Howden scored twice, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

    Howden tallied the Golden Knights' first and fourth goals, with the latter being the game-winner. He has four goals over his last seven outings, but he had a five-game drought prior to this improved stretch of play. The 26-year-old has a career-best 10 tallies through 24 contests already, though he's added just one assist, 43 shots on net, 35 hits and a minus-2 rating. He's shooting 23.3 percent, so he's a candidate for regression, but the five-year contract he signed last Friday suggests he'll be a lock to stay in the lineup in the long run.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Inks five-year extension

    Howden signed a five-year, $12.5 million contract extension with the Golden Knights on Friday.

    Howden is in the midst of his fourth season with the Golden Knights, and his extension will keep him under contract with the team through the 2029-30 campaign. The 26-year-old is on pace for one of the best years of his career this season, as he's tallied eight goals, nine points and 29 hits while averaging 15:07 of ice time over his first 20 appearances. However, even with his improved pace of getting on the scoresheet, Howden's fantasy upside remains limited.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Scores in Sunday's loss

    Howden scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

    A lively bounce off the boards came right to Howden, who got the Golden Knights on the board at 19:52 of the first period. The tally snapped his five-game point drought, a stretch that has seen him slip back into a third-line role. The 26-year-old forward is up to seven goals, one assist, 35 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-3 rating over 18 contests this season. His physical play could earn him attention in deeper fantasy formats that reward such production.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Goal, assist in overtime win

    Howden scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

    Howden helped on a Pavel Dorofeyev goal in the second period to get Vegas on the board. At the 2:15 mark of overtime, Howden buried a pass from Noah Hanifin to earn the victory. Howden has two multi-point efforts this campaign, and he's looking like a good fit on the second line. He is up to six goals, one assist, 28 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 contests. The 26-year-old won't be a leader on offense, but he's emerging as a reliable secondary scorer with a physical edge, and that's worth a look in fantasy.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Scores twice in win

    Howden scored two goals and added two hits in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

    While the top line took many of the accolades, Howden was a force from the second line. He has three goals over his last four games while playing in a consistent top-six role, though his ice time could decrease now that William Karlsson is healthy. Howden has five goals, no assists, 18 shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over nine outings this season.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Deposits goal

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

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Tallies in win

    Howden scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

    Howden opened the scoring at 6:17 of the first period. The 26-year-old forward has two goals on eight shots while adding three hits through three contests this season. Howden continues to occupy a third-line role. With Vegas still figuring out its best combinations in the middle six, it's possible Howden could play his way into a more prominent role, though he's yet to be a factor on the power play.
