WASHINGTON — Facing one of the NHL’s supreme goaltenders in Sergei Bobrovsky, the Washington Capitals were glad to have another in Braden Holtby. Holtby stopped 32 of 35 shots as the Capitals continued their domination of Bobrovsky and the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 4-3 victory Saturday night. Bobrovsky fell to 6-8-4 with a 3.02 goals-against average and .902 save percentage in his career against Washington. I believe it’s not easy to play against us, every goalie, especially on home ice.”The Blue Jackets certainly didn’t make it easy on Bobrovsky, who was given a couple of games off before this one. The Capitals were hardly celebrating after being outshot 35-23 by the Blue Jackets, who grinded out a victory at home against Anaheim on Friday night.
