Gunnarsson, who has been the Capitals and Bears primary goalie mask artist for a number of years now, continues to innovate with Holtby’s new bucket. The new design features the traditional elements, including the Weagle and three stars, but also includes the number 70 on the chin and numerous Capitol building watermarks crossed with hockey sticks and stars.
