Capitals' Braden Holtby: Confirmed as starter Tuesday

Holtby will, as expected, be in net for Tuesday night's game against Carolina, NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Holtby's excellence of late has been a product of his fantastic play, but also of a red-hot Washington offense that averaged an astounding 4.33 goals per game in January. The 27-year-old keeper will look to make it six wins in a row against a Hurricanes squad that's averaging just 2.33 goals per game on the road.
