My pick tonight: #NYR 3, #Caps 2. Hard not to pick King Henrik over Kid Holtby. Your picks?
Not a confirmation but it's hard to imagine game 7 going to anyone but Holtby
May 12, 2012, 5:36 p.m.
Braden Holtby will make his 12th straight postseason start and is set to become the team's most experienced goaltender in the playoffs.
...Out of him, Vokoun and Neuvirth.

Braden Holtby makes his 11th start of the postseason.
Holtby has started all of the Caps' games.

Caps goalie Braden Holtby addresses the media after Sunday's practice at Madison Square Garden.
...and will start Game 2.

If Semin starts Game 2 on Monday on the fourth line, he’ll likely be skating with Mike Knuble and Keith Aucoin.
Semin was demoted to the 4th line in practice but no word on if Dale Hunter was just sending him a message or if he will actually play there on Monday. Semin is a UFA in the offseason.

Now he gets to go back to Madison Square Garden, starting with Game 1 Saturday afternoon against the New York Rangers, the site of perhaps his finest performance of this regular season.
No surprise Holtby starts the series for the Caps.
April 28, 2012, 2:18 p.m.
“It’s good. I mean, there’s no point in having nerves right now,” Braden Holtby said.
No indication that the Caps will turn to anyone else but who got them to this point.

But despite the coach’s non-committal response it certainly seems as though Jeff Schultz will be back in the mix for Game 7.
We're unsure of who will be removed if Schultz does start but Erskine looks to be the favourite.
April 24, 2012, 10:46 p.m.
The underdog sits just one more piece of Holtby brilliance away from skating off with the upset, and the reigning Stanley Cup champs sit one defeat away from addressing some very heady questions during the offseason.
Holtby and the Caps hope to eliminate the Bruins with a win today.
April 22, 2012, 11:05 a.m.
Michal Neuvirth will be able to back up Holtby in Game 5, though he admitted he isn't 100 percent.
Holtby is still the main guy in Washington.
April 21, 2012, 1:17 p.m.
Caps have sent Sabourin to the AHL. That means Neuvirth is healthy or Holtby is just so great he doesn't need a backup. #BosWsh
Holtby looks to continue his stellar play in Game 5.

Sabourin was backing up Holtby.

Erskine was paired with Dennis Wideman at Wednesday's practice, a good indication he'll play in Game 4 Thursday, replacing Jeff Schultz.
Schultz will be a healthy scratch for Game 5.

Erskine hasn't played since Feb 12.
April 19, 2012, 10:31 a.m.
Michal Neuvirth was not on the ice to start the morning skate.
Still no Neuvirth and Vokoun and no reason not to continue with Holtby.
