Holtby pulled by Capitals, point streak ends at 22
Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby was pulled in the second period after allowing three goals to the Buffalo Sabres.

Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby was pulled in the second period after allowing three goals to the Buffalo Sabres.

Holtby was replaced by Philipp Grubauer 7:14 into the period after Evander Kane scored the Sabres' third goal on their 16th shot.

Buffalo won 4-1, Holtby's first loss in regulation in 23 decisions (20-0-2). He fell one game short of tying the Capitals record set by Jose Theodore, who went 20-0-3 from Jan. 13 to April 9, 2010.

The NHL record is held by Gerry Cheevers of the Boston Bruins, who went 32 games without a loss in the 1971-72 season (24 wins, eight ties).

Holtby started his point streak on Nov. 12.
