Fresh off a solid return home against the Red Wings, the Caps continue their work at Capital One Arena as they welcome in Metro Division pals, the Flyers, for the final game in the season series between the two longtime rivals.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Flyers
  • Where: Capital One Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

Look for the same lines as before, and while the goalie rotation has officially ended, that doesn’t mean both goalies won’t get some work in down the stretch – to wit, Charlie Lindgren back in net tonight:

Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier

Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk

Lindgren
Thompson

On this date in 1975: The Caps lost yet again, their 14th-straight loss, falling 5-1 to the Minnesota North Stars. [Game Notes]
