Back in the win column, the Caps now face another tough test: a back-to-back slate before the holiday break, starting with an early-evening visit from the high-flying LA Kings and old pal Darcy Kuemper.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Kings
- Where: Capital One Arena
- When: 5:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Unclear whether recent call-up, Henrik Rybinski, will be in the lineup at some point in these final two games before the break…but as of now we’ll expect to see the same lineup that brought home the win on Friday, with Logan Thompson back in net:
Mangiapane – Strome – Wilson
McMichael – Dubois – Protas
Vrana – Lapierre – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
On this date in 1974: The Caps extended their latest losing streak to four with a 4-0 loss at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres. Oh how the turntables… [Game Notes]
