Braden Holtby's playing career may be over per Frank Seravalli

According to DailyFaceoff's Frank Seravalli, pending unrestricted free agent goaltender Braden Holtby may be forced to end his career due to injury.

The 32-year-old suffered a lower-body injury in the middle of March and was subsequently placed on long-term injured reserve. Holtby appeared in 24 games with the Dallas Stars during the 2021-22 season, posting a 10-10-1 record, a 2.78 GAA, and a .913 save percentage.

If it is the end of the road for Holtby, he certainly had a fairly solid career and will be remembered most for his time in Washington where he sits second in franchise history with 282 wins, a Stanley Cup in 2018 and a Vezina Trophy in 2016.

Frank Seravalli on DFO Rundown yesterday - «Braden Holtby, unlikely to play next season. His career may be over.»
