Capitals' Braden Holtby: Draws Tuesday's start on heels of dud showing

Holtby will see shots from the Wild as Tuesday's home starter.

Analysis:

Holtby took losses in his last three outings, including Sunday's performance against the Ducks, in which he yielded five goals on 32 shots. He'll have a tough test opposing a Minnesota team that leads the league in road scoring at 3.24 goals per contest. This is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner we're talking about, so any prolonged slump would be disappointing.
