If it feels like every game for the last month or so has been a “must-win”, get ready for that to ramp up for tonight’s matchup against the Red Wings – again, not literally must-win but getting pretty damn close, with just a handful of games remaining and ground to still make up.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals @ Red Wings
  • Where: Little Caesars Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: ESPN
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
