Capitals' Braden Holtby: Falls to Pens again in Game 3

Holtby allowed three goals on 23 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Penguins on Monday in Game 3.

Analysis:

The Vezina Trophy frontrunner was outdueled -- again -- by 21-year-old rookie Matt Murray, who did his best brick-wall impression with a whopping 47 saves. It's a little strange for Holtby to have a 5-4 record in the playoffs after he posted a sparking 48-9-7 mark in the regular season, but postseason hockey is a different animal and the Penguins are a handful. That said, the Saskatchewan native is the backbone of the Caps and will be counted on for a huge performance in Game 4 on Wednesday, which will again come on the road in Pennsylvania.
