2. Olaf Kolzig 2000-01 37
3. Jim Carey 1995-96 35

Braden Holtby 2014-15 31
9. Jose Theodore 2009-10 30
10. Don Beaupre 1991-92 29

Holtby’s breakout season (so far) also includes the second-most shutouts in team history (7; Carey, 9, 1995-96), second-best Goals Against Average (2.16; Carey, 2.13, 1994-95) and best save percentage (.925).

That’s how it all stacks up against Caps history, but how about in the present-day NHL? Not too shabbily. Via NHL.com:
