Copley will in goal Tuesday when the Capitals take on Nashville, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Braden Holtby needing the night off for "precautionary reasons", the 26-year-old Copley gets the nod for the second time in as many nights. He's played well this season, on his way to posting a 10-3-3 record over 17 appearances.

Copley will be between the pipes versus St. Louis on Monday, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was expected to get the nod to give Braden Holtby (eye) an extra day to recover as the Caps enter a back-to-back against the Blues and Predators on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. In limited action this season, the 26-year-old Copley is 10-2-3 with one shutout and a .916 save percentage.

Copley turned aside 11 of 12 shots faced during Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss at home to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was called upon after Braden Holtby (eye) exited in the second period and kept the Caps in it long enough to secure a point with the overtime loss. The 26-year-old has been one of the league's better backups -- carrying a 2.49 GAA and .916 save percentage in 15 games heading into Saturday's action -- but could be in line for a significant boost to his workload if Holtby is out for an extended period of time. Fantasy owners should monitor the situation closely. However, given that the Capitals have back-to-back games starting Monday against the Blues, adding the North Pole, Alaska native sooner rather than later might be justified.

Copley turned aside 37 of 40 shots faced during Tuesday's 5-3 home win against the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has been everything the Caps have hoped for in a backup with six wins in his last seven starts to improve to a 2.56 GAA and .915 save percentage behind a 9-2-2 record in 14 games. The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the better backup netminders in the NHL. Washington's crease may belong to Braden Holtby, but the 6-foo-4, 200-pound netminder should get more than the occasional game down the stretch as the Caps look to keep the aforementioned Holtby fresh for what they hope will be another successful playoff run.

Copley will start between the pipes in Tuesday's home game against the Flyers, NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was sharp in his last start Friday against the Stars, turning aside 27 of 29 shots, but he ultimately suffered his fourth loss of the campaign due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The American netminder will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 10th victory of the season in a favorable home matchup with a struggling Flyers team that's lost seven consecutive games.

Copley will start in Friday's road tilt against the Stars, the offical team
EDGE Analysis
Copley will look to end Washington's two-game losing streak against a Stars team that could be without captain Jamie Benn (upper body). The 26-year-old Alaskan has been terrific of late with a 2.37 GAA and .922 save percentage behind a 7-1-0 record in his last nine games and is worth a spot start in standard and daily formats.

Copley turned aside 31 of 33 shots faced during Saturday's 3-2 road win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has been doing yeoman's work as Braden Holtby's understudy with a 2.45 GAA and .912 save percentage behind a sterling 8-2-1 record in 13 games. The 26-year-old Alaskan is solidifying himself as one of the league's better backups and is worth a spot-start every time he is in action.

Copley will defend the net Saturday against the Senators in Ottawa, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a shutout and riding a four-game winning streak in the crease, Copley will get his second start in three games Saturday. He will take on a Sens club notching just 2.42 goals per game during December, giving him a good shot to add another tally to the win column.

Copley will face the Senators in a road start Saturday, NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley's in pursuit of his fourth consecutive win, but Capitals coach Todd Reirden has only iced the backup goalie three times over the last month. This is what happens when you have to play second fiddle to a former Vezina Trophy winner in Braden Holtby, but Copley's next appearance will come against a Senators club with a poor minus-19 goal differential -- the Caps, meanwhile, have scored 123 goals compared to 102 allowed, which amounts to the Alaskan netminder being a decent DFS play on Saturday's slate.

Copley will field shots at home against the Sabres on Saturday, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gearing up for his 10th start of the season, Copley is an appealing goalie to stream in DFS contests since the defending Stanley Cup champions carry a spectacular plus-21 goal differential and have a cushy lead atop the Metropolitan Division standings at 19-9-3. Washington's primary backup will take aim at a Sabres club that ranks 14th in the league by means of averaging 2.81 road goals per game.
