It was a high angle shot from out wide. Clearly Holtby wasn't expecting the shot and left a lot of room for that puck to squeak in. No one else at fault there.

I thought it was deflected in.

I would say there was a bit of luck too while scoring this goal ,therefore I’m not fully blame on Holtby for that goal however he could catch that puck too.

It probably would have gone in anyway. Holts left a 6-8 inch gap between he and the post. The deflection was insignificant IMO.
ETA
I just watched it back from multiple angles. The deflection shifted the puck a bit. With that gap it probably would have gone in anyway. It was Orpik's man that he DECIDED to separate from just as they approached the crease. Orpik wasn't expecting the shot either. It could be argued, but I think Holtby could have played it much better.

I need to take another look at it I guess. I thought Holtby left the post anticipating a pass across and was deflected short side by a player that was left wide open.
