Tonight’s game in New Jersey wraps up the November slate of games for the Capitals, and marks the final regular-season game against the Devils, where the Caps will be looking to even the season series at two apiece. Both teams come into this one off of come-from-behind victories, the Devils over the Red Wings in Detroit last night and the Caps in OT fashion over the Islanders yesterday.

Back-to-back games this weekend means…who knows what the lineup will look like, although we can guess it at least starts something like this (with the possibility that either Jakub Vrana, Alex Alexeyev, or Dylan McIlrath cycle in to give someone a rest):
Protas – Strome – Raddysh
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Lapierre – Eller – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko
Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Lindgren
Thompson
On this date in 1974: The Caps took on the Maple Leafs in Toronto, jumping out to a 1-0 lead and then falling to 2-1 within five minutes before ultimately losing 7-1. [Game Notes]
