The Caps pulled out a big win over the Leafs last night; now they face another tough taste against a young, scrappy Canadiens team in Montreal for a little Saturday night hockey.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Canadiens
- Where: Bell Centre
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
As always with back-to-back games, no morning skate today but we’ll assume the lines and D pairs stay the same, with Logan Thompson back between the pipes to face the Habs:
McMichael – Strome – Wilson
Protas – Dubois – Raddysh
Lapierre – Eller – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko
Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
On this date in 1974: Two nights after a 9-2 drubbing at the hands of the Sabres, the Caps headed to St. Louis and promptly endured an 8-2 drubbing by the Blues, a game in which they were outshot 60-29. That seems…bad. [Game Notes]
