FILE - In this Oct. 18, 2016, file photo, Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, left, waves at the crowd as he was honored for his Vezina Trophy season, before the Capitals' NHL hockey game against the Colorado Avalanche in Washington. Also pictured are Holtby's wife, Brandi, second from left; son Ben, bottom left, and daughter Belle, bottom right; Dick Patrick, second from right, Capitals president, and team owner Ted Leonsis, right. A five-day bye week for each team is a new wrinkle added to the NHL this season so players can get a breather during the second half of a grueling, 82-game grind. “Our schedules, you don’t really get to take vacations ever, so it’s good for the families _ spend some time with wife, girlfriend, kids, whatever you have,” Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby said. “It’s good for family life, and playing is better when family’s good.” (AP Photo/Nick Wass, File)
