Capitals' Braden Holtby: Stops 28 in shootout loss

Holtby stopped 28 of 30 Penguins shots in Thursday's 3-2 Opening Night shootout loss.

Analysis:

Holtby looked sharp until the shootout, but gave up three goals in four attempts to end up on the short end. Luckily for him, the Capitals likely won't need the shootout to beat most teams after winning the President's Trophy with the best regular-season record in 2015-16. The 27-year-old remains among the league's steadiest choices in net after winning 89 games over the past two seasons.
