March 5, 2008
Starting in place of an injured Cristobal Huet, Olaf Kolzig stopped 25 of 26 shots to pick up his 23rd victory of the season. Huet is being listed as day-to-day with back spasms, so until he is back at full health the Caps will lean on the man who has been their main man in goal for years. Kolzig is a below average goaltender at this point of his career with a save percentage barely over .890, so only play him if you are desperate in net.

February 11, 2008
Olaf Kolzig registered his 10th win in his last 15 starts on Sunday. Kolzig made 31 saves in the 3-2 overtime win against the Rangers.
