Round 2 did not get off to the best start for the Caps (to put it mildly). And yet, it’s just one game, and it’s not the first to one win, it’s the first to four. The Caps get their chance to get back even in the series tonight as they host the Canes for Game 2…here’s hoping they’re ready to do it.
First, some admin stuff for Game 1:
- Where: Capital One Arena
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: ESPN
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Series: 0-1
Goalie Matchup:
Logan Thompson (4-2, .926, 2.17 GAA) vs. Frederik Andersen (4-1, .935, 1.45 GAA)
Coach Carbery hinted to some possible lineup changes after the fiasco that was Game 1, and the first sign of it seems to be Ryan Leonard sitting out in favor of Taylor Raddysh…which means they’ll likely line up as follows:
Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Beauvillier
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh
Chychrun – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
