Braden Holtby's groin might be feeling a little tender after extending to take a sure thing away from Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Mark Streit.

The Washington Capitals goaltender made a split save robbing Streit of his fifth goal of the season Sunday.

The stop proved crucial as it kept the game at 1-0, before the Capitals connected for two late second-period goals to take a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes.
