Braden Holtby Named NHL’s Second Star of the Month

Just a day after being named 2nd star of the week, Braden brings home that same honor on the monthy scale.

From the NHL’s release:

Holtby went 9-2-0 with a 1.99 goals-against average, .927 save percentage and one shutout to pace the NHL in wins and backstop the Capitals (17-5-1, 35 points) to a 9-3-1 month and second place in the Metropolitan Division. He allowed two or fewer goals in eight of 11 appearances, including a 33-save shutout Nov. 23 vs. EDM. Holtby also recorded a career-high seven consecutive wins to close November, capped by a pair of 32-save victories over the final weekend of the month (Nov. 27 vs. TBL and Nov. 28 at TOR). The 26-year-old Lloydminster, Sask., native owns a 15-4-0 record with a 1.95 goals-against average, .926 save percentage and one shutout in 19 appearances this season, leading the NHL in both wins and goals-against average.
