Holtby will guard the road cage during Tuesday's matchup with the Jets, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holtby hasn't been great recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Blue Jackets and the Senators while posting a sub-par 3.66 GAA and .857 save percentage. The 32-year-old backstop will try to get back on track in a road matchup with a Winnipeg team that's averaging 3.50 goals per game this year, eighth in the NHL.

Holtby surrendered four goals on 24 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
It was a second straight loss for Holtby, although the Stars have given him just two goals of support in those games. The 32-year-old has a 2-3-0 record, a 2.40 GAA and a .926 save percentage through six appearances overall. He's served as the Stars' top netminder overall, but any hint of prolonged struggles would like force head coach Rick Bowness to turn to Anton Khudobin more often. The Stars begin a three-game road trip in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Holtby stopped 22 of 25 shots Monday in a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jackets got to Holtby for one goal in each period, and the Dallas netminder didn't receive any offensive support at the other end until late in the third, when the game was essentially already decided. It was the first time this season an opponent hung more than two goals on Holtby, who dropped to 2-2-0 with a stellar 2.04 GAA and .939 save percentage. It's likely Dallas turns to him again Wednesday at home against Vegas.

Holtby will be between the pipes on the road against Columbus on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Holtby's performance in his last two games, in which he posted a 2-0-0 record and 1.39 GAA, will see him start a third straight contest over Anton Khudobin. The Stars figure to continue riding the hot hand. As such, fantasy players may want to consider utilizing Holtby regardless of format.

Holtby made 43 saves on 45 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Holtby has looked like his vintage self to begin 2021-22, yielding no more than two goals in all four of his appearances. Friday was arguably his best performance of the young season, as the Kings pelted him with pucks throughout the contest. Holtby is now 2-1-0 with a .950 save percentage. He's established himself as the Stars' No. 1 option in net, and he'll likely draw the start Monday versus the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old will be making his fourth start of 2021 after posting a 1.75 GAA and .947 save percentage through three games, an encouraging sign considering his miserable 2020 campaign with Vancouver.

Holtby set aside 27 of 28 shots through overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Holtby played well enough to win for the third time in as many starts and was finally rewarded with his first victory of the season. He has struggled behind some porous defenses in recent years, but the veteran netminder looks right at home as the top backstop for a Stars team that prioritizes strong play in its own zone over pushing the pace to generate offense. Given the lack of enthusiasm for Holtby in fantasy drafts, it might not be too late to acquire him on the cheap.

Holtby will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's road game versus the Penguins, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holtby played well in his last start Saturday against the Bruins, turning aside 37 of 39 shots, but he still ultimately came away with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 32-year-old goaltender will try to pick up his first win of the season in a tough road matchup with a Pittsburgh team that's racked up 15 goals through its first three games of the campaign.
