“I don’t think three games is a trend over the years.” This is what Braden Holtby told CSN Mid-Atlantic on Monday morning before the Capitals’ game against the Dallas Stars last night.
His quotes were in direct reference to the fact that going into last night, the Dallas Stars were the only team that he had not beaten in his career. He was 0-3-0 overall, but was confident in his 19-0-2 record over his prior 21 starts.
And why wouldn’t he be? The Capitals were soaring high as the best team in the NHL while the Stars were struggling to stay afloat at the bottom of the Western Conference.
