Holtby Playing at Historic Levels

Braden Holtby was selected in the 4th round of the NHL Draft by the Washington Capitals in 2008.  He made his NHL debut in 2010.  He played sparingly the next two years but secured a starting spot in 2012-2013 season.

And then he really turned on the jets.

In 2015, he became the first goaltender ever to sweep a series of 3 or more games against Boston without allowing a single goal.

And now he is performing at historic levels in the playoffs.
