Capitals' Braden Holtby: Set for date with Lightning

Holtby will start in goal on the road Saturday, facing the Lightning, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Holtby has seven wins in 12 career games against the Bolts, but the peripheral numbers -- 3.04 GAA and .906 save mark -- while facing Tampa's team leave a lot to be desired. Still, this is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner we're talking about, and there's simply not going to be more than a handful of scenarios in which someone could justify parking him on the pine.
