Capitals' Holtby accidentally sets up goal by Devils' Cammalleri
Geoff Burke / USA Today
Braden Holtby was doing his best to keep the Washington Capitals even with the New Jersey Devils on Friday, stopping all 23 shots he faced in the first two periods, but perhaps he should have stayed in his crease on a Devils dump-in midway through the third.
Instead, Holtby elected to play the puck behind the net and sent an errant pass directly to New Jersey forward Mike Cammalleri, who made no mistake one-timing it home.

The goal stood as the game-winner as the Devils prevailed 1-0.
