The Red Wings downed Los Angeles 3-1 on Monday night despite getting outshot 43-21. The true key to this victory was the play in net of Jimmy Howard, but there’s not really one save or even a sequence of saves in the 42 he stopped that really qualifies for a breakdown. Howard was positionally solid throughout an entire game in which the Kings were able to get good scoring chances on him. Obviously, some of that is the Kings missing a chance with poor shot selection/placement, but I feel you’d be taking away from a good goaltending performance making such excuses.
