The road doesn’t get easier for the Capitals, who have to bounce back quickly from a frustrating loss to the visiting Leafs only to face Metro Division rivals – and some new but familiar faces – in the Carolina Hurricanes.

First, some admin stuff:

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

The Caps will once again be without T.J. Oshie and Aliaksei Protas, both out with injury, and Tom Wilson, out with…well, sheer stupidity. Said with love, but c’mon, man.

Anyway, that leaves this ragtag bunch of hooligans to line up as such:

Ovechkin – McMichael – Sgarbossa
Miroshnichenko -Strome – Phillips
Pacioretty – Lapierre – Milano
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel

Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Jensen
Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk

Kuemper
Lindgren

Time to see what these scrappy Caps can do…let’s go, babes!
