Taking on Tampa Bay Holtby will patrol the crease during Monday's round-robin matchup with the Lightning, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Holtby is going to be busy during these playoffs, as Ilya Samsonov, who outplayed Holtby during the regular season, won't be available for the entirety of the postseason due to an undisclosed injury he suffered prior to training camp. Holtby was excellent against Tampa Bay during the regular season, picking up a pair of wins while posting an impressive 1.95 GAA and .930 save percentage, making him a surprisingly attractive option in all formats Monday.

Won't travel to Toronto Samsonov suffered an undisclosed injury prior to training camp and won't be available for the playoffs, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Although Braden Holtby was always expected to be the Capitals' starter heading into the postseason, this is still a major loss for Washington, as the team will no longer have a high-end backup to turn to should Holtby falter. Samsonov will finish the campaign having compiled a 16-6-2 record while posting a 2.55 GAA and .913 save percentage in 26 appearances. The 23-year-old Russian will likely be taking over as Washington's No. 1 netminder in 2020-21, as all signs currently point to Holtby leaving in free agency.
