A big question facing the Washington Capitals is the goaltending.

There’s been debates about it all season long, who should the Washington Capitals go with in net at the start of the playoffs. There’s overwhelming favor for Braden Holtby and for good reason, he’s a seasoned vet who’s been through the playoffs before.

Ilya Samsonov, though nice for a stretch of the season, doesn’t have that experience but it’s likely he will get one of the Round Robin games.
