Jimmy Howard dominated the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night in Game 5, making 30 saves en route to a 4-1 victory and a 3-2 series lead. Winging It In Motown, SBN’s Wings blog, commended him on the effort.
Detroit Reaction: Jimmy Howard Stars In Game 5 Victory
Jimmy Howard may have given up one more goal tonight than he did on Tuesday, but he also faced more intense shots, and made some spectacular saves to keep Detroit in the game. While it might be a stretch to say he stole the game, it could just as easily have been a one-goal or tied game after regulation time.
Make no mistake about it: it was Howard's incredible saves tonight that kept the Red Wings in this game during stretches that Detroit seemed to be utterly disinterested in trying to win.
