Coach Barry Trotz suggested that Grubauer will "probably" start Sunday night's regular season finale against the Ducks

Coach Barry Trotz suggested that Grubauer will "probably" start Sunday night's regular season finale against the Ducks, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Heading into Sunday's tilt, the Caps have nothing more to gain in terms of playoff seeding, so it seems likely that the team will elect to rest Saturday starter, Braden Holtby, in Sunday's season finale. Holtby -- who earned his 48th win of the season Saturday -- is a single victory shy of sole possession of the NHL's single-season goalie win mark -- but at this stage, we suspect that the Caps will probably prioritize playoff preparation over individual milestones Sunday, especially given the back-to-back game scenario in play here.
