Caps Stick With Philipp Grubauer For Game 2
7 years agoWashington Capitals coach Barry Trotz will stick with goaltender Philipp Gruabuer for Game 2 against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. Grubauer allowed four goals on only 27 shots in Game 1's overtime loss, but if you were watching, it was hard to put the blame on him for most of those goals. The Caps coaching staff apparently feel the same way and will give him a chance to redeem himself. This is obviously a crucial game for Washington as they don't want to head to Columbus in a 0-2 hole, and I'm sure Grubauer knows this is probably as long as his leash gets; another loss would likely mean Braden Holtby starts the next one.
