Braden Holtby's quietly never been better

Much of the talk about goalies this season has focused on Devan Dubnyk, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Carey Price. Well, Braden Holtby would like a word.

Last season's Vezina Trophy winner continued his stellar play Tuesday, as the Washington Capitals shut out the Carolina Hurricanes 5-0. It's his seventh clean sheet of the season, tying him for most in the league with Peter Budaj.

And thanks to Holtby and a supremely balanced attack, the Capitals are on a dominant run at home, winners of 10 straight in D.C.

While Holtby's a perfect 3-0 in February, having defeated the Canes, Montreal Canadiens, and Boston Bruins, going back through January, the Capitals have lost only one game - a bonkers 8-7 overtime decision against the Pittsburgh Penguins, in which Holtby was pulled after 34 minutes - he's started of 16 in the new year. The 27-year-old was pulled against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 3 after 20 minutes, but his teammates rallied to win 6-5 in overtime.

In fact, Holtby's never been better. He now has a .930 save percentage, easily the highest of his career when he's been the No. 1 guy. He won the 2016 Vezina with a .922 number.

It's strange that last year's Vezina winner on this season's best team is flying under the radar a little bit, but that's what it feels like, especially since the Capitals are relentlessly putting the puck in the net.

Beware Holtby. And that offense. Beware the crew from D.C.
