Braden Holtby was tremendous between the pipes, making 30 saves for his second career playoff shutout and backstopping the Washington Capitals to a 1-0 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Jay Beagle scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who used a solid defensive effort to bounce back from Saturday's 3-2 Game 2 loss and take a 2-1 lead in this best-of-seven series.
Holtby's other postseason shutout came against the Rangers on May 4, 2013 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. New York won that series in seven games.
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 21-of-22 shots for the Rangers in his 100th career postseason game.
The series will resume with Game 4 Wednesday at Verizon Center.
