Philipp Grubauer In For Caps Versus Penguins
7 years agoWashington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer will tend the twine tonight as the Caps visit the rival Pittsburgh Penguins. In his last appearance, Grubauer stopped 28 shots in a 4-2 win against the New York Rangers, bringing his record to 14-9-3 on the season. Braden Holtby started the last two games as Grubauer apparently "tweaked something", but was healthy enough to serve as Holtby's backup in the last game. While both goaltenders were bound to get one half of the back-to-back, the fact that the Caps went with Grubauer in such an important game against a divisional rival indicates he'll likely be their starter in the post-season.
