Braden Holtby is having perhaps the best season of his career. He leads the league in wins (15) and goals against average (1.95).

The Capitals netminder reacted in the most Holtby way possible.

“It was pretty much the same,” Holtby said of his week, via Katie Brown of NHL.com. “I wouldn’t say I felt any better or worse. … You try to win every game. Sometimes it happens in a week’s stretch.”
