Braden Holtby to start between the pipes as Capitals host Penguins

Washington Capitals netminder Braden Holtby will man the crease for Wednesday's home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Holtby hasn't recorded a loss in regulation in any of his last six starts, with two shutout wins in that span. He is 19-8-4 on the season, and his .931 save percentage and 1.90 goals-against average are both Holtby's best marks since his 2010-2011 rookie season.

Our models have Holtby as our second-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's four-game slate, projecting him for 25.4 saves, 2.1 goals against, a 61.0 percent chance of scoring a win and a 7.0 percent chance of recording a shutout against the Penguins.
