What Jimmy Howard giveth, Jimmy Howard taketh away. The Detroit Red Wings goaltender has made 14 saves as of the midway point of the third period in Game 4 -- a small number, but that show just how much the Wings are dominating play -- but it took just one (huge) mistake by Howard to give Nashville a huge upper hand.
Red Wings Vs. Predators, NHL Playoffs 2012 Game 4: Jimmy Howard Gaffe Gives Nashville Easy Lead
Just 3:11 after Jiri Hudler had tied the score at 1-1 in the third, Howard overplayed a puck to his right and ... well, that was a pretty awful mistake on his part. It left defenseman Kevin Klein a huge net at which to shoot, and Howard didn't even have time to try and make the save.
Klein is not a goal scorer. He had four goals all season. He now has two goals in two games. Very important playoff-sized goals, we might add.
