Capitals expected to start Philipp Grubauer as they take on Colorado

Washington Capitals goalie Philipp Grubauer is expected to start versus the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night.

What It Means:

Grubauer hasn't heard his name called since March 11, when he gave up three goals on 21 shots in a loss to the Los Angeles Kings. He's been solid in limited opportunities as Braden Holtby's backup this season, going 10-6-2 with a 2.10 goals-against average and .925 save percentage. The 25-year-old netminder shouldn't have any problem improving upon that tonight against the worst team in the NHL.

numberFire's algorithms give Grubauer the best chances of winning out of the eight starters in action tonight at 76.0 percent. He's our second-best fantasy goalie with a projection of 2.1 goals allowed and 23.9 saves made.
