Braden Holtby gets the green-light for Washington on Thursday

Washington Capitals netminder Braden Holtby will man the crease on Thursday for the Capitals' road clash with the St. Louis Blues.

What It Means:

Holtby had a five-game winning streak snapped in his last start, and is now 21-8-4 with a 1.96 goals against average on the season. His .930 save percentage is his highest mark since his 2010-2011 rookie season.

Holtby is our fifth-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's eight-game slate. Our models project him for 27.0 saves, 2.3 goals against and a 53.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
