Philipp Grubauer will start in the cage Sunday against the Senators

Grubauer will start in the cage Sunday against the Senators, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Grubauer will receive his first start between the pipes since the turn of the calendar to 2016 in Sunday's contest, which isn't a huge surprise given Braden Holtby's hot streak. The netminder will face a tough matchup in his return to the crease, facing a red hot Panthers club riding an 11-game winning streak.
