After riding a couple of shorthanded goals to victory in Philadelphia, the Capitals and Flyers head down I-95 to resume battle, this time in DC, where the Caps will look to keep the good times rolling.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Flyers
  • Where: Capital One Arena
  • When: 7:30 p.m.
  • How to Watch: TNT, TruTV, MAX
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

With no morning skate, we have to imagine that – again – the lines will stay the same and that – again – the team will swap goalies (especially with a back-to-back), getting Logan Thompson back between the pipes:

Protas – Strome – Ovechkin
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Vrana – Lapierre – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh

Chychrun – Carlson
Fehervary – McIlrath
Sandin – van Riemsdyk

Thompson
Lindgren

On this date in 1974… The Caps suffered their fourth straight loss, this time losing a 2-0 lead (and being outshot 42-12) en route to a 3-2 loss to the only team they had beaten to this point – the Chicago Blackhawks. Game Notes
