Braden Holtby appears to have the Boston Bruins’ number.

The Washington Capitals goaltender has dazzled over the course of his career against the B’s, sporting an 11-2 record with a 1.80 goals against average and a .945 save percentage.

Tuukka Rask, on the other hand, doesn’t feature a similar level of success against the Caps. The Bruins goalie has a career 1-9-5 record against Washington with a 3.07 goals against average and a .889 save percentage.

Ahead of Saturday’s Bruins-Capitals tilt at TD Garden, NESN’s Andy Brickley broke down the Vezina Trophy-winning goalie matchup. Hear what he had to say in the video above from “Bruins Face-Off Live,” presented by EchoStor Technologies.
