Holtby ended the series with a .922 save percentage and a 2.22 goals allowed average. Holtby saw the vast majority of the playing time this year for the Caps and will head into the offseason as the heir apparent in the net. He's going to have to win in the playoffs eventually, though.","date":"Tue May 14"},"fullName":"Braden Holtby","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Just as Jonathan Quick's rise to superstardom during the Kings' Stanley Cup run was not surprising to those who'd been following his exploits closely as fantasy owners the past few seasons, such was the case -- to a much lesser degree, of course -- with Holtby. In 21 appearances during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, he went 14-4-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .929 save percentage; so while the 1.95 GAA and .935 SV% for this past postseason run speak volumes to his ability under pressure, this was foreshadowed by earlier success. Ultimately, Holtby's role specific workload will be determined by new Capitals coach Adam Oates and his staff. However, his work for the AHL club in Hershey during the lockout -- including a 2.14 GAA and .932 SV% -- would seem to indicate that he's ready to be the full-fledged No. 1. He can be drafted as a second-string goalie for fantasy teams, but he could wind up with numbers worthy of a No. 1.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":9.6,"playerRater15DAY":13.6,"positionRank":13}
