The Capitals have some work to do. Down 3-1 in their series against the Hurricanes, their only choices are to win or start the summer far earlier than they hoped.
It’s a steep hill to climb, for sure…but it starts with one. Get one win, and go from there.
Get one win, and live to fight another day.

As has become his usual, cagey fashion, Coach Carbery would neither confirm nor deny that the lines from yesterday’s practice will be what we see tonight. Still, there’s a good chance they will be, so here’s what that looks like:
Ovechkin – Strome – Beauvillier
Protas – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – McMichael – Leonard
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh
Sandin – Carlson
Chychrun – Roy
Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
