Howden scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mammoth.
Howden had gone seven games without a point, logging a minus-3 rating and five shots on net in that span. The 28-year-old remains in a second-line role, but his continued lack of power-play time could make his offense a bit inconsistent throughout the year. So far, he's racked up six goals, three assists, 30 shots on net, 25 hits, 11 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 20 appearances.
