The Caps are back home for the first of four in DC to host the Stanley Cup champs.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Golden Knights
- Where: Capital One Arena
- When: 7:00 p.m. ET
- How to watch: Monumental
- How to listen: 106.7 the Fan, Capitals Radio 24/7
Expect to see roughly the same lineup that beat the Islanders back on Saturday night (except in net, where Darcy Kuemper has returned) – Trevor Van Riemsdyk, Joel Edmundson and Anthony Mantha all skated with the team today and are deemed “close” by Coach Carbery. So…something like this:
Alex Ovechkin – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Tom Wilson
Sonny Milano – Dylan Strome – T.J. Oshie
Aliaksei Protas – Connor McMichael – Matthew Phillips
Beck Malenstyn – Nic Dowd – Nicolas Aube-Kubel
Rasmus Sandin – John Carlson
Hardy Häman Aktell – Nick Jensen
Alex Alexeyev – Lucas Johansen
