- Two-goal-scorer Tom Wilson earned the coveted Hockey Night in Canada towel and the even more coveted Don Cherry benediction for his hard work in #CapsHabs. [RMNB]
- Czeching in on the Caps’ newest blueliners, a few weeks after the trade deadline. Jakub Jerabek and Michal Kempny have now seen the monuments and are happy to be playing for the playoffs. [THW]
- Shane Gersich may need to wait for the Caps to clinch a playoff berth to make his NHL debut. [WaPo]
- Today in “Caps prospects doing things”:

- ... and Garrett Pilon had a monster game for the Everett Silvertips in their WHL battle with the Seattle Thunderbirds. He dropped a hatty on the T-Birds, including this beauty:
