Condon will start between the pipes Wednesday against the Capitals, Chantal Machabee of RDS reports.

Analysis:

Despite a second straight strong showing Monday against the Predators (one regulation goal allowed on 30 shots), Condon came away with the loss again due to a lack of offensive support. While his recent success is encouraging, he faces off against the league's best team by record and points (92) on the campaign Monday. It's probably best to avoid using him in season-long leagues, and he certainly represents a dicey option in daily contests as well.
