Capitals' Braden Holtby: Starting for Sunday's season finale

Holtby will be in goal Sunday against the Panthers, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

With back-to-back games to polish off the season, Holtby will watch Philipp Grubauer play in Boston on Saturday, and he will take the season finale against the Panthers on Sunday. He's coming off of a 24-save shutout against the Rangers, and Sunday will basically be a measure to make sure he doesn't get cold before the playoffs. Holtby's performance this season put him in the conversation for the Vezina Trophy again, but he'll likely fall short of Sergei Bobrovsky.
