Brett Howden Fantasy Stats

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden remained red-hot in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night, scoring twice in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Two goals from Howden gave Vegas a 2-0 lead, but Carolina stunned the visitors with a third-period comeback. Howden reached 13 goals in the playoffs, tying him with Jonathan Marchessault for the most for Vegas in a single playoff campaign. He is now one of only seven players in NHL history to score at least 10 regular-season goals and then exceed his total in the playoffs. The 28-year-old has emerged as a serious Conn Smythe Trophy contender, amassing 16 points in 18 postseason games.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden recorded a goal and an assist in the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals opener against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, helping his team to a 5-4 win. The 28-year-old factored in two go-ahead goals, assisting William Karlsson on Vegas' third goal of the night and scoring the team's fourth himself. Remarkably, Howden leads the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs with 11 goals and is now just one tally away from his regular-season mark of 12.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden wrapped up Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche with an empty-net goal, giving him 10 goals for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Howden joined teammate Pavel Dorofeyev at the top of the postseason goal-scoring charts. He has lit the lamp in three of the last four contests and hasn't gone without a goal in two consecutive outings since failing to score in the first three postseason games. Howden's productive playoff run has included two assists in 15 games. The 28-year-old has looked very sharp and, even with Mark Stone back, continued to hold a top-six role in Sunday's game, which is positive for his fantasy outlook.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden continued his special playoff run with another goal in a 4-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night. He put the visitors up 3-0 early in the third period, and Howden's ninth goal of the postseason proved to be the game-winner. Howden, who found the back of the net just 13 times during the regular season, has become only the sixth player in NHL history to record a six-game road goal streak in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In 13 playoff games, Howden has also contributed two assists. With Howden in top form, the Golden Knights might be just fine without Mark Stone (lower body) in the Western Conference Finals. The 28-year-old has failed to score just twice in the last 10 games.

Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden continued his magical second-season run with the Knights on Friday. Howden scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in the Game 3 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

Howden also has two short-handed goals as well, all on 16 shots. Many expected Tomas Hertl to be in this position, but the 28-year-old Howden has stolen the show. Sometimes the most unexpected performances take a life of their own.

His first goal, scored in a shorthanded situation, gave Vegas a 2-0 lead in the first frame. Howden completed his three-point night with an assist on Shea Theodore's game-winning goal with less than a minute remaining in the first overtime period. Dating back to the regular season, Howden had gone six consecutive appearances without a point before sparking into life on Monday night. In Game 5 against Utah, he will aim to record points in back-to-back postseason games for the first time since the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals.

During the regular season, Howden turned up his game a notch, posting a career-high 40 points (23 goals, 17 assists) in 80 appearances.

An illness could take Howden out of the lineup for the first time this season. It's been a big year for Howden, who is tied for second on the team with 16 goals and has notched 22 points in 47 games. He needs just two more points to set a new career high. If Howden can't play in the next couple of games, we might see Tanner Pearson take on a larger role.

Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden will miss Thursday's matchup against Toronto with an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old will sit out his third game of the season. The campaign started well for Howden, but he's been slumping offensively for multiple weeks. Howden hasn't managed to collect any points in 11 games. He boasts five goals and 13 points in 54 games for the season. The team considers Howden day-to-day.

The 25-year-old received the suspension for an illegal check to the head of Seattle forward Brandon Tanev in Tuesday's 4-1 win. In addition to missing Thursday's matchup versus San Jose, Howden also has to sit out Saturday's clash with Anaheim. Paul Cotter is slated to take over Howden's spot on the second line Thursday.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden signed a two-year, $3.8 million contract with the team on Wednesday. By coming to an agreement, the Golden Knights avoid an arbitration process with Howden, who came off a one-year, $1.5 million deal and was a restricted free agent. Howden, who has a $1.9 million cap hit with his new contract, made a modest contribution in 2022-23 by notching 13 points in 54 games during the regular season, but he elevated his game during the team's run to the Stanley Cup triumph and had five goals and 10 points in 22 playoff appearances. The 25-year-old will try to replicate the form in 2023-24 as he looks set to remain paired with Chandler Stephenson and Mark Stone on a productive line.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden grabbed all the headlines in Friday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Dallas, scoring the game-winning goal in a 4-3 overtime victory. A day after Florida and Carolina went nearly four extra frames without a goal in the Eastern Conference Finals, Howden got the job done just 1:35 into overtime. The 25-year-old ended a five-game scoring drought in the process. Howden didn't do a lot in the last series against Edmonton, but he's enjoyed a decent playoff campaign with three goals and six points in 12 appearances.

Vegas Golden Knights fourth line centerman Brett Howden collected a goal and a helper in a 3-2 overtime shootout victory Friday against the Rangers. Howden's goal came in the first period on assists from forwards Keegan Kolesar and William Carrier. The Calgary, Alberta native has just three markers and two assists in 21 contests during 2021. In addition, he is only averaging just under ten minutes of ice time per contest. As a result, Howden is not a player worth adding in fantasy at this time.
