Grubauer will start Monday in New York.

Grubauer allowed four goals on 21 shots in the Capitals win in Montreal on Saturday. It wasn’t the best outing for Grubauer, but it was enough to get the win and earn him another start tonight in New York. He is 5-2-0 with a 2.12 GAA and .927 SV% in March and will be looking to set a new career-high in wins in a season (14) with a ‘W’ tonight.

Murray will start Friday vs. the Devils.

Murray allowed three goals on 39 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. It was his first start after missing nine games with a concussion, and he should continue to see a starter’s workload down the stretch. He draws a decent matchup at home tonight against the Devils.

Grubauer will start Thursday in Detroit.

Grubauer allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Capitals loss in Philadelphia on Sunday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Grubauer, but he remains a great starting option tonight in Detroit. He is 5-6-3 with a 2.62 GAA and .917 SV% on the road this season but the Red Wings are awful.

Murray (concussion) faced shots on Tuesday and will travel on the Penguins upcoming road trip.

Murray has missed the last seven games with a concussion but he faced “full shots” before Tuesday’s practice and will accompany the team on their three-game road trip that starts Wednesday in New York. This doesn’t guarantee that Murray will start on the trip, but at least opens the door for him to practice with the team.

Grubauer will start Monday vs. the Jets.

Grubauer stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Capitals win in San Jose on Saturday. Grubauer is playing very well, so the Capitals will stick with Grubauer tonight vs. the Jets. Grubauer has not allowed more than two goals in nine straight games—stopping 206 of the last 216 shots (.954 SV%) that he has faced. The 26-year-old has a tough matchup but is 5-3-0 with a 1.90 GAA and .934 SV% at the Capital One Arena this season.
