Capitals' Braden Holtby: Will start in net Monday

Holtby will be tending the twine Monday, JJ Regan of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

The 27-year-old has been solid throughout the season with a .922 save percentage and a 2.16 GAA. He hasn't been the best of late though, with a 2.82 GAA and .901 save percentage, but a date against the lowly Sabres could be just what the doctor ordered for last year's Vezina Trophy winner.
