Holtby nearly steals victory from Devils
Braden Holtby - G - Washington Capitals
Feb. 21, 2013 - 10:55 PM ET

Braden Holtby allowed three goals on 37 shots in a 3-2 defeat at the hands of New Jersey Thursday night.

The Capitals clung to a 2-1 lead midway through the third period until a parade of penalties gave the Devils five consecutive power plays, a barrage Holtby couldn't withstand. Michal Neuvirth isn't far off, but Holtby has still played well enough to hang on to the starting gig.
