Caps to Honor Braden Holtby on Tuesday

(Caps Outsider)

On Tuesday, October 18, the Capitals will honor goaltender Braden Holtby. He’ll be presented with the Vezina Trophy for his accomplishments last season, when he tied the NHL record for goalie wins in a season. Holtby matched Martin Brodeur’s 48 despite having played 12 fewer games.

Fans will receive a #Holtbeast fan banner. The Caps play the Colorado Avalanche at 7 p.m.

Other Caps to win the Vezina:

1995–96 Jim Carey

1999–2000 Olaf Kolzig

Interesting fact: Kolzig and Carey were the only two goalies to win the Vezina not named Dominik Hasek, between 1993 and 2001.
