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

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