Braden Holtby will man the crease for Washington

Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby will start versus the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.

What It Means:

After posting a 3-1-1 record with a 1.19 goals against average and one shutout in his previous five starts, Holtby got blasted by the Islanders on Tuesday. He allowed four goals on 31 shots as he took only his second loss in his last eight starts. Thursday marks his first game against the Devils this season.

Our models project Holtby as the best goalie option for the night with 23.5 fantasy points, 1.5 goals allowed, 23.4 saves, and a 75.0 percent chance of winning.
