Holtby had to deal with a late barrage from the Rangers,
whose goalie Henrik Lundqvist was pulled for an extra attacker.
Capitals center Jay Beagle scored the game's only goal with 7:31
gone in the second period.
Game Four will take place on Wednesday at the Verizon Center in
Washington.
Holtby's biggest save came on a breakaway by Rangers right
winger Martin St. Louis with 6:35 remaining in the second
period.
Lundqvist stopped 18 of 19 shots for the Rangers, who have had
each of their last 10 playoff games decided by one goal.
Beagle's goal, his first of the 2015 playoffs, came on a fluky
play. After shooting left of the net, Beagle hunted down the
puck, swung around the back and saw his centering pass carom off
the back of Lundqvist's left skate and into the net for his
third career playoff goal.
Brouwer and Burakovsky earned assists on the play.
