Jimmy Howard

Jimmy Howard

Jimmy Howard was taken late in the Second Round in 2003, but the American Goalie only played in nine Games for Detroit before he truly became a Red Wings rookie (2009-10).

Howard was the runner-up for the Calder and was Eighth in Vezina Trophy voting.  He posted a 2.26 GAA that year, and he would later have back-to-back sub 2.20 GAA seasons (2011-12 & 2012-13), with the latter season seeing Howard land sixth in Vezina balloting.  Howard continued to post respectable numbers had 246 Wins for Detroit over his career.
