Two games left. Win and you’re in.

The first of those two games gets underway tonight, with the Caps hosting the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins in (yet another) must-win situation, as the home team looks to keep control of their own postseason destiny.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Bruins
  • Where: Capital One Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
  • Know Thy Enemy: Stanley Cup of Chowder

As expected, Nick Jensen will be out for the foreseeable future, bringing in Dylan McIlrath from Hershey to fill in – so here’s what the lines and pairs should look like tonight:

Ovechkin – Strome – Wilson
Protas – McMichael – Oshie
Pacioretty – Lapierre – Milano
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel

Fehervary – Carlson
van Riemsdyk – Iorio
Alexeyev – McIlrath

Lindgren
Kuemper

Time to finish the fight. Let’s freaking goooooo, babes.
