Capitals' Philipp Grubauer: Seeking revenge against Carolina

Grubauer was designated as Friday's road starter versus the Hurricanes, Joe Beninati of CSNMA reports.

Analysis:

As the understudy to reigning Vezina Trophy winner Braden Holtby, Grubauer unsurprisingly hasn't played often this season -- six games -- but his lone regulation loss actually took place against the Hurricanes on Nov. 12, when he surrendered four goals on 37 shots. The fourth-year tender is 2-1-1 with a 2.25 GAA in four road starts this campaign.
