Capitals' Philipp Grubauer: Will guard the crease Saturday

Grubauer is likely to get the start Saturday against the Predators, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

The German netminder is likely to backstop the Capitals in the second half of a back-to-back set with Braden Holtby getting the call Friday against the Oilers. Grubauer would face a stiff test against the Predators, but has been one of the league's better backups with a 1.98 GAA and .932 save percentage in 16 games.
