Capitals' Braden Holtby: Expected to start Saturday

Holtby was first off the ice and is expected to start Saturday against the Panthers, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

No surprise as the Capitals' workhorse appears to be back in the net again. The Vezina Trophy winner had a rough third period Thursday, surrendering three goals over a 9:00 span, but his stats are similar to last season's so far (2.22 GAA, .921 save percentage), so play him with confidence.
