Adam Oates pulled starting goalie Braden Holtby after the latter allowed three goals on 11 shots in the Caps last game, which resulted in a 5-2 loss against the Edmonton Oilers.

"That's Adam's call, it's what I respect," Holtby said of being lifted to NHL.com. "I'd like to finish every game that I play but at the same time, we haven't been addressing our starts as a group because we've been masking them with winning a few games."

Vancouver closed out its road trip with a 3-2 overtime victory against the St. Louis Blues.

"Throughout the trip, we won in different ways," Vancouver coach John Tortorella said. "We kept our composure. Day by day, it's a really good trip but you need to flat-line it here and just stay within ourselves and just keep on working as a team."
