• Braden Holtby: Pondering future

  07/12/2022 • By RotoWire

  Holtby (lower body) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's free-agent frenzy, and it's possible he could retire, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports. Holtby's recovery from a lower-body injury suffered in March has apparently taken a bad turn, which leaves the future of his playing career in doubt. He had 10-10-1 record with a 2.78 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 24 games with the Stars, but was overtaken by Jake Oettinger midseason. With Holtby facing free agency and an uncertain future, fantasy managers can likely leave him off their radar in the fall.

• Stars' Braden Holtby: Doing off-ice workouts

  04/08/2022 • By RotoWire

  Holtby (lower body) is doing off-ice workouts, but he has not resumed skating, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports. Holtby has been out of action since March 12, and it doesn't sound like his return is all that close. The 32-year-old isn't expected to be ready before the end of the regular season, so Jake Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood will be tasked with getting the Stars over the bump and into the playoffs. Holtby remains on long-term injured reserve.

• Stars' Braden Holtby: Lands on LTIR

  03/21/2022 • By RotoWire

  Holbty (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, Brien Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports. Dallas' acquisition of Scott Wedgewood makes more sense now that Holtby is considered week-to-week and could be out for the foreseeable future. The veteran netminder hasn't played since March 4 when he stopped 39 of 42 shots against the Jets. Jake Oettinger will see most of the work while Holtby is out.

  Holtby (lower body) took part in morning skate but will not dress for Tuesday's game in Toronto, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports. While Holtby remains out, Jake Oettinger will continue to hold down the No. 1 spot in the Dallas crease and be backed up by Adam Scheel. Look for further info on Holtby's status once he's able to return to game action -- either as a starter or backup to Oettinger.

• Stars' Braden Holtby: No rust after gap between starts

  03/05/2022 • By RotoWire

  Holtby stopped 39 of 42 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets. Holtby hadn't started since Feb. 13, a span of nearly three weeks as Jake Oettinger played in the last seven games. The 32-year-old Holtby was tested often but met the challenge, and he got the win as Jason Robertson completed a hat trick in overtime. Holtby improved to 10-10-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 24 outings. The veteran netminder may not see as many starts as he's used to, but he can still be solid in a backup role for fantasy managers in deeper formats or those that already roster Oettinger. The Stars' road trip continues Sunday in Minnesota.
