For the first time all season, the Caps have suffered back-to-back losses, with the offense going cold at the worst possible time. They’ll look to change course tonight in Sunrise as they prepare for their first look at the reigning Cup champs – and they’ll have a little extra motivation along for the ride, as they kick off their annual mentors trip.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals @ Panthers
- Where: Amerant Bank Arena
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
We might see a little bit more of a shakeup tonight than we did after the last loss, although nothing is likely to be confirmed until the team hits the ice for warmups tonight. Here’s what the lines looked like at their last practice, though:
Protas – Strome – Wilson
McMichael – Dubois – Raddysh
Lapierre – Eller – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko
Chychrun – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Fehervary – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
On this date in 1974: The Caps had the evening off.
