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

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  10/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  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

  10/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.
