Capitals' Braden Holtby: Gets the start Friday

Holtby will be between the pipes Friday against the Hurricanes, Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Washington reports.

Analysis:

This comes as no surprise, as the reigning Vezina Trophy winner has been lights out in the preseason with a 1.49 GAA and .949 save percentage. He's a must-start whenever he gets the starting nod and should be one of the first goalies to fly off draft boards ahead of the 2016-17 season.
