Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby is great. He is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and is currently one of the finalists for the award this season.
Marc-Andre Fleury might not have a credit like this to his name, but he does have something Holtby doesn’t–experience. Fleury has three trips to the Stanley Cup Finals and has solidified his status as a playoff performer.
