Braden Holtby follows a rebound against John Tavares and the Islanders earlier this month. It was where Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby and new goaltending coach Scott Murray took a summer bonding trip of sorts, three days to get to know each other better in one of the most idyllic cities in Canada. and kind of have one aspect that we’re going to work on through the year,” Holtby said. That one aspect would be the focus of Murray’s goaltending teaching, a style called “head trajectory” that was developed by British Columbia-based Lyle Mast, who consults with several goalies and coaches in the NHL. The simplest way to describe head trajectory is tracking a puck with the head rather than just with the eyes.
