CAPS GOALIE REPORT: HUET HANDLES THE THRASHERS, GETS A REST AND HEADS TO THE EYE OF THE STORM

Cristobal Huet’s play did not change when the score was 1-0 Caps, 3-1 Thrashers or 4-3 Caps with precious seconds ticking down while handling a bunch of pressure from Atlanta.

This is the sign of a great goaltender. He hung in there and gave his team what it needed to pull off, what will be one of the biggest games of the year, if the Caps do get into the playoffs.

The Caps head to Carolina Tuesday and I have to believe that Huet will start again after a good Easter rest. He will need to bring his “A” game again, as this game is surely as important as the last one.

Caps @ Thrashers 3/21
