Capitals' Braden Holtby: Registers shutout in preseason finale

Holtby made 24 saves in a 4-0 win over the Islanders on Sunday.

Analysis:

As if there was any doubt about Washington's goaltending situation, Holtby is expected to be the No. 1 starter and among the league's best. Holtby is aiming for his third straight 40-win season, something that he should easily accomplish if he appears around 70 games again. Though Carey Price is considered the league's best goaltender, Holtby might have more value in fantasy leagues by virtue of playing on a much better team.
