from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
Jimmy Howard will appear in his 500th career game tonight for the Detroit Red Wings, and both he and the club hope he has many more in him.
“I just never expected it,” Howard said, prior to facing the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena (7:30, Fox Sports Detroit). “Growing up, being a kid from a small town (Ogdensburg, N.Y.), always dreamt of playing in the NHL. Didn’t know it was going to become a reality. To play in my 500th game tonight with these guys in this room, with this organization, it’s really special.
