Capitals' Braden Holtby: Set to start Thursday in San Jose

Holtby will start between the pipes in Thursday's road game against the Sharks, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Holtby had an uncharacteristically poor outing in his last start, surrendering three goals on 11 shots before being yanked from Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars. The 27-year-old netminder will look to rebound and continue his quest for back-to-back Vezina wins in a tough road matchup with a Sharks team that's 20-7-4 at home this season.
