WASHINGTON (AP) - Braden Holtby's iron-man run produced another shutout as he made 21 saves in his 20th consecutive start and lifted the Washington Capitals to a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
Holtby put up his fourth blank slate of the season, including three since he became too hot to rest. With Holtby in net, Jason Chimera's first-period goal was all the Capitals needed as they won for the 14th time in 19 games overall and for the seventh straight home game.
Holtby is 14-2-4 during his starting streak, and he hasn't allowed more than one goal in his last three games. He also played in his 26th connective game, extending his franchise record.
