Nicholas Cotsonika of NHL.com: Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard would like to remain with the Red Wings as opposed to being traded at the deadline to a contender.
The 34-year old pending UFA would like to sign an extension with the Wings.
“Obviously I want to stay here,” said Howard, whose 232 wins rank third in Red Wings history. “This city has become home, not only for myself but for my family as well. I definitely don’t want to relocate at all. So it would mean the world to me to be able to end my career here in Detroit.
