Capitals sticking with Grubauer for Game 2

Washington Capitals head coach Barry Trotz announced he's sticking with goaltender Philipp Grubauer for Game 2 against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday.

Grubauer stopped 23 of 27 shots in the Capitals' 4-3 overtime loss in Game 1, but none of the goals appeared to be directly his fault.

Nonetheless, it's still surprising that Trotz wouldn't turn to his former Vezina-Trophy winner Braden Holtby, even though he had a poor season.

Unless the Caps win Game 2, or Grubauer stands on his head in a tight loss, you can bet Holtby will be back in there for Game 3.
