Capitals' Braden Holtby: Expected to start Monday

Holtby is likely to tend the twine Monday against the Stars, Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Holtby was first off the ice following the morning skate, so it's a decent bet he'll be in the lineup. Oddly, despite excellent career numbers, Holtby has yet to win a single game against a Stars team that for some reason has been a nightmare for the Capitals in recent years. While history may repeat itself again, the Saskatchewan native has gone 5-0-1 with a 0.98 GAA and .963 save percentage in his last six starts, so fantasy owners should continue playing him as they normally would.
