The Caps dropped a tense 2-1 decision in Game 7 in New York as the 22-year-old netminder stopped 29 shots.","spin":"Two months ago, he was toiling in Hershey in the AHL. But the Rangers never called on another backstop in their 14-game playoff run; Holtby never gave them a reason to look elsewhere, concluding the postseason with a mark of 7-7 (with four of the losses coming in overtime) and composite stats of 1.95, .935. Performances like that tend to get players invited back when training camps open in September. Veteran Tomas Vokoun's contact expires in July, so who knows? Washington may be looking at him as its goaltender of the future. Pay attention to his contract negotiations this summer to get a better sense of that role.","date":"Sun May 13"},"fullName":"Braden Holtby","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Holtby will compete with Michal Neuvirth to be the primary backup to Tomas Vokoun, but should it be fairly equal, the Caps may elect to send Holtby back to the AHL affiliate in Hershey in order to get ice-time, as opposed to sitting on the bench. Though his sample size was smaller, Holtby put up considerably better stats (including a 1.79 GAA and .934 SVP) than Neuvirth and Semyon Varlamov last season, as the latter two struggled through health problems. His future is bright, but he may not be very fantasy relevant this season (barring injury, of course).","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Sep 9"},"playerRater30DAY":6.4,"playerRater15DAY":8.1,"positionRank":40}
