Tomas Vokoun allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Capitals' 3-2 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night.
Vokoun has grabbed a hold of the starting job in Washington after struggling through most of the first half of the 2011-12 season. For the first time since the days of Olaf Kolzig, Washington now boasts an established true number-one goalie. With the shootout loss tonight, Vokoun now has a 22-13-2 record on the season and pushes his save percentage back up towards his career norms. Since the lockout, Vokoun has recorded a save percentage of .919 or better in all six seasons playing for mostly mediocre Panthers clubs. He didn't often get the credit that he deserved, mostly because of where he played, but all that will change now in Washington. Vokoun should be a top fantasy option the rest of the way.
