By The Numbers will highlight the Red Wings on-ice accomplishments in the 2014-15 season. Each week during the off-season, By The Numbers will profile a different player on the team, focusing on their statistical highs. This week we focus on goalie Jimmy Howard.
“I don’t say it’s the most challenging but it’s probably one of the tougher (seasons)," Howard said. "For the first time in my life, in my career, I wasn’t the guy that was in the net at the end. It was tough that way but Petr did an excellent job, he’s a great kid, he’s gonna be a great goalie for a long time and he’s only gonna get better but it was still, personally it was tough.
