Fresh off a brutal loss to the Hurricanes, a game in which the Caps got punched in the face both literally and figuratively, the team will look to get things back on track against the visiting Blackhawks.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Blackhawks
- Where: Capital One Arena
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental, NHLN
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
The lineup gets a slight tweak, as Taylor Raddysh draws back in and Anthony Beauvillier rotates out as a healthy scratch. Matt Roy is also back with the team, so he’ll resume his spot alongside Martin Fehervary. And with Logan Thompson out with an upper-body injury, Hunter Shepard has been recalled to backup Charlie Lindgren. Here’s how all of that shakes out:
Ovechkin – Dubois – Wilson
Leonard – Strome – Protas
Mangiapane – Eller – McMichael
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Lindgren
Shepard
On this date in 1975: The Caps had the night off.
