Another night, another Metropolitan Division opponent, as the Caps head into the weekend hosting the Carolina Hurricanes and looking to get back on track after Wednesday’s loss.

First, some admin stuff:

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

Rasmus Sandin is ill and won’t be playing this evening, and it sounds like Charlie Lindgren isn’t quite ready, so here’s what the lineup might look like:

Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Protas – McMichael – Mantha
Pacioretty – Strome – Lapierre
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel

Fehervary – Carlson
Trevor van Riemsdyk – Bear
