The California swing got off to a good, if not a little wild, start Tuesday night, as the Caps exploded for seven goals in a back-and-forth affair over the Ducks. Now they head up the 5 looking to keep things rolling against the Kings, reuniting with their old goalie and bringing Pierre-Luc Dubois and Matt Roy back to LA for the first time since both joined the Capitals.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Kings
  • Where: Crypto.com Arena
  • When: 10:30 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

The Caps will go with the same lineup as the past few games tonight…at least to start, as Coach Carbery has taken to some in-game experimentation, mixing up his line combos throughout the night. Charlie Lindgren hops back between the pipes against his old buddy, Darcy Kuemper:

Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier

Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk

Lindgren
Thompson

On this date in 1975: The Caps had the night off.
