Philipp Grubauer starting in goal for Washington
Washington Capitals goalie Philipp Grubauer will get the call for Wednesday’s home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
What It Means:
The Capitals have a pair of back-to-back sets this week. Tonight is the second leg of the first one, so Grubauer may be in line for another start this week. Grubauer allowed one goal on 16 shots after replacing Braden Holtby in the Capitals’ loss to the Montreal Canadiens last Wednesday. Grubauer has gone 3-3-1 with a 2.00 goals against average and .930 save percentage on home ice this season.
Our models rank Grubauer as the No. 2 option for Wednesday’s three-game slate. We project him to permit 2.03 goals on 25.68 shots with a whopping 80 percent chance of getting the win.
