Capitals' Holtby takes home William M. Jennings Trophy
Geoff Burke / USA Today Sports
Braden Holtby might need a bigger trophy shelf.
After taking home the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender in 2015-16, Holtby is the winner of the William M. Jennings trophy as the goaltender who plays at least 25 games for the club allowing the fewest goals.
Holtby posted a record of 42-13-6 this season with a .925 save percentage, a 2.07 goals against average, and a league-leading nine shutouts. He will likely be up for the Vezina trophy once again.
Despite all of these awards, there is still one piece of hardware Holtby is without: a Stanley Cup. He and the Capitals will begin their quest for Lord Stanley's mug Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
