Five games, five wins – can the Caps make it six? They’ll do their best as they head south to Tampa to take on the Lightning in their first Atlantic Division standoff.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals @ Lightning
  • Where: Amalie Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

Expect to see the same lineup once again tonight…and, yes, flip-flopping goalies again, as well. Charlie Lindgren, you’re up!

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

Chychrun – Carlson
Fehervary – McIlrath
Sandin – van Riemsdyk

Lindgren
Thompson

On this date in 1974… nothing happened. At least not for the Capitals, who had the night off. They did play the Toronto Maple Leafs the following night, though (and, of course, lost).
