  • Fifteen games into the season, is it time to separate Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov? Their line isn’t working all that well, no matter who they have at right wing... [RMNB]
  • ... and based on Saturday’s practice lines, we could be seeing a Ovechkin - Nicklas Backstrom - T.J. Oshie monster line. [NBCSW]
  • In other practice news, John Carlson returned to the ice, and is perhaps “possible” for today. [WaPo]
  • But hey, Jonas Siegenthaler looked pretty good Friday night. [NBCSW]
  • Penalty kill. Penalty kill. Penalty kill. [NBCSW]
  • Aw, these pics from the Caps’ Make-a-Wish Kids Skate are just the sweetest. [Caps Outsider, RMNB]
  • Finally, happy 64th birthday to Michel Bergeron and happy 46th to Steve Konowalchuk.
