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