Vitek Vanecek Posts First Career Shutout
4 years agoWashington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek recorded his first career shutout on Monday, keeping Buffalo at bay with 23 saves in a 6-0 win. The 25-year-old rookie didn't have much to do and the Capitals completely dominated the game, but it's a great moment for him and it will be a boost to his confidence. Not that he needs it a lot, as Vanecek has taken only three losses over the last 30 days, winning five of his last six appearances. Washington as a team has dropped only one of the last 10 games, so Vanecek and Ilya Samsonov are both rock-solid fantasy options between the pipes.
