Braden Holtby

Washington green-lights Braden Holtby for Monday's road clash with Pittsburgh

Washington Capitals netminder Braden Holtby will man the crease on Monday as Washington takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Holtby has been on a tear recently, with wins in each of his last five starts. He has three shutouts and only three goals allowed in that span. His six shutouts on the season are a league-high, and his .933 save percentage and 1.85 goals against average this season are his best marks since his 2010-2011 rookie year.

Holbty is our second-rated fantasy goalie among the 14 starters in action today. Our models project him for 29.7 saves, 2.2 goals against and a 59.0 percent chance of recording a win.
