Braden Holtby getting the nod as Washington hosts Nashville
Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby will draw the start for Thursday's home game against the Nashville Predators.
Holtby is riding a three-game losing streak, though he is still a strong 34-11-5 on the season. His .926 save percentage is his best since his 2010-2011 rookie season, and his 2.03 goals against average is the league's best mark.
Our models project Holtby for 24.2 saves, 1.8 goals against and a strong 66.0 percent chance of scoring a win, making him our 4th-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's huge 12-game slate.
