Howden eyes continued scoring form on Vegas second line vs Penguins
Brett Howden enters tonight’s matchup at T-Mobile Arena on a sharp scoring run, having scored just 26 seconds into Thursday’s contest against Calgary to push his recent tally to five points and a plus-4 rating over his last seven games. Operating on Vegas’ second line alongside William Karlsson and Mitch Marner, Howden is enjoying quality five-on-five minutes even without power-play deployment. The first-place Golden Knights (7–2–0) are comfortable home favorites in a higher-scoring environment against the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins (3–4–1), who are expected to start Sergei Murashov (unconfirmed) in net.
Our projection anticipates Howden logging ~0.5–1.0 point with ~1–2 shots on goal and just over a hit, translating to 2.0 fantasy points. While his lack of special teams usage caps his ceiling, his even-strength chemistry with elite playmakers keeps him relevant. Tonight wraps up Vegas’ four-game week, offering fantasy managers one last chance to capitalize on his hot streak in an advantageous home spot. For managers seeking offensive depth or deeper-league help, Howden makes for a sensible plug-and-play option. Today’s action: Stream.
