Braden Holtby looking for 43rd win of the year for the Capitals
The Washington Capitals are starting Braden Holtby in goals Sunday as they wrap up the regular season versus the Florida Panthers.
What It Means:
Holtby is currently tied with Cam Talbot for the NHL lead with 42 wins. Talbot is sitting on Sunday, giving the Caps goalie a chance to claim the wins lead all for his own in the regular season finale on Sunday. He faces a Panthers team who scores just 2.51 goals per game -- ranking 23rd out of 30 NHL teams.
Our models project Holtby for 1.7 goals allowed, 23.9 saves, and a 70.0% chance of earning his 43rd win of the year.
