So this road trip is off to…a start. After being blanked in St. Louis, the boys moved on to Minnesota, where they gave up too many goals and didn’t score enough – again – only to have to turn around and play one of the top teams in the West, and one of the best home teams, in the Colorado Avalanche.
Should be fun!
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals @ Avalanche
- Where: Ball Arena
- When: 9:30 p.m.
- How to watch: Monumental
- How to listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
No morning skate today, so the lines may or may not be the same as they were last night in Minnesota…but we do know Ethan Bear draws back in for Trevor van Riemsdyk, and Charlie Lindgren will be in net:
Pacioretty – Strome – Oshie
Ovechkin – McMichael – Protas
Mantha – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel
