The Caps kick off April – and their two-game road trip – in Boston to face the Bruins, looking to snap a three-game skid. Of course, the Bruins are trying to end a losing streak of their own, having dropped eight in a row, so…something’s gotta give.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Bruins
- Where: TD Garden
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Ryan Leonard will make his NHL debut in front of family and friends at TD Garden tonight, which has caused a bit of a shuffle to the forward lines. Matt Roy is also out for a family matter, which means Dylan McIlrath draws back in, with Charlie Lindgren back in net:
Ovechkin – Dubois – Wilson
Leonard – Strome – Protas
Mangiapane – Eller – McMichael
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – McIlrath
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Lindgren
Thompson
On this date in 1975: The Caps had the night off.
