Capitals starting Braden Holtby in goal on Thursday

Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby will draw the start on Thursday as the Caps host the New Jersey Devils.

What It Means:

Holtby has wins in four of his last five starts, having allowed 9 goals on 140 shots against in that span, good for a .936 save percentage. His .929 save percentage and 1.95 goals against average on the season are both on pace to be his highest marks since his 2010-2011 rookie season.

Holtby is our top-projected fantasy goalie on today's big 10-game slate. Our models project him for 24.1 saves, 1.7 goals against, a 75.0 percent chance of scoring a win and a 15.0 percent chance of notching his 8th shutout of the season.
