High Salary G

Braden Holtby – Washington Capitals ($10,000): Holtby has been the best goalie in the NHL this season. His team has won eight of its last ten games and five straight. Holtby hasn’t lost in regulation since mid-November. He faces the Sabres, who have one of the worst offenses in the NHL. To top it all off, the Sabres just played on Friday night.
