Braden Holtby will hold down net for Capitals on Tuesday
Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby will draw the start in goal against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Holtby allowed two goals on 22 shots over the weekend in a Washington victory. He has won five in a row with a 2.20 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage. The last time he faced the Hurricanes, Holtby allowed only one goal on 26 shots in a 6-1 win and so far he owns the league's second-best save percentage (.929) among goalies with at least 40 starts.
Our models project Holtby for 25.8 saves, 1.8 goals against and a 80.0 percent chance of recording a victory. He ranks as numberFire's best fantasy goalie on Tuesday's 11-game slate.
