Capitals' Braden Holtby: Patrolling crease for Game 6

Holtby will defend the crease on the road Tuesday night for Game 6 against the Penguins.

Analysis:

Holtby came up huge in Game 5 on Saturday, stopping 30 of 31 shots for a victory to stretch the series. Washington has scored more than two goals in a game just twice in this second round, and not surprisingly, those are the times Holtby has ended up in the win column. Look for the 26-year-old netminder to continue doing all he can to avoid falling short in the playoffs for the second straight season Tuesday.
