After a three-game homestand, the Caps head north for the first of two games against the Central Division – starting with a best-on-best matchup against the Western Conference leaders in Winnipeg. The two teams last clashed back in DC in early February, and the Caps may be looking for a little revenge for the 5-4 OT loss at the Jets’ hands.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Jets
- Where: Canada Life Centre
- When: 8:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Look for the same forward lines (to start, at least), but TBD on the defensive pairs as Jakob Chychrun’s status was unknown yesterday after suffering a skate cut against the Panthers:
Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun/Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
On this date in 1975: The Caps had the evening off.
