The Red Wings face something of a crossroads in terms of their goaltending prospects this summer. The Wings appear to be willing to put their faith in Jimmy Howard and, most likely, Joey MacDonald, whose $550,000 cap hit (per Capgeek.com) and ability to thrive on a limited workload essentially won him the back-up’s position. MacDonald told the Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan...

Joey MacDonald - The Adequate Goalie

from Andrew Johnson of The Hockey Writers, As the team’s confidence in (Joey) MacDonald builds, they may unintentionally become lax in their defensive ways, expecting him to make the robbery saves and bail them out, to do what Howard has done all season long. We saw glimpses of this behavior in Sunday’s game against San Jose. At least twice, Sharks forwards entered the...

MacDonald helps Wings extend streak to 23

DETROIT -- If this was Joey MacDonald's swan song for this season, he certainly went out on a strong note.

Although it might not sound all that impressive when you consider the overall home win...

MacDonald making the most of opportunity

DETROIT -- Jimmy Howard who? No, nobody has forgotten about the Red Wings All-Star goaltender, the man with a 32-11-1 record, 2.03 goals-against average and .924 save percentage.
