Brett Howden may have a more permanent place to live now than he did during his hot streak to start the season, but he still doesn’t want to feel too comfortable.
The Rangers’ 20-year-old center has cooled off since his four goals and eight assists over the first 20 games of the season made for a nice welcome to the NHL. He has just two assists in the 12 games since then heading into Saturday’s clash against the Maple Leafs.
“He had a little bit of a dip,” coach David Quinn said Friday before the team flew to Toronto.
