The Caps have one more tough test before they get a couple of days off to relax and recharge for the rest of the season, and that’s a visit to Boston to face a rejuvenated Bruins team. They’ll want to keep the momentum from two strong wins at home to make this a happy holiday.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Bruins
  • Where: TD Garden
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

Only certainty with tonight’s lineup is that Alex Ovechkin and Lars Eller won’t be in it, but we’ll guess that Carbery will stick with the lineup that got the W last night against LA, with Charlie Lindgren back in net:

Mangiapane – Strome – Wilson
McMichael – Dubois – Protas
Vrana – Lapierre – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko

Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk

Lindgren
Thompson

On this date in 1974: The Caps were officially off for their holiday break.
