Capitals goalie Braden Holtby day-to-day with knee injury

Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby is listed as day-to-day with a knee injury after he "tweaked something" on Tuesday, coach Barry Trotz told the Washington Post.

Holtby was flexing and stretching his knee after a collision during the third period of Tuesday's home game with the Dallas Stars.

"We're just trying to make sure he's OK," Trotz said. "He's doing fine. You saw, he was moving around fine and took the majority of the shots. Didn't want Stretch in the net."

Philipp Grubauer will start Thursday night's game in Detroit, and the Capitals recalled Pheonix Copley from Hershey of the AHL.
