At the midway mark of their five-game homestand, the Caps have collected exactly 0 points. They’ll be looking to right that wrong against a visiting Kings team on a similar slide, as the two teams renew acquaintances at Capital One Arena this afternoon.

With a matinee and no morning skate, there are lots of lineup questions that likely won’t be answered until just before puck drop, including whether the captain will play or if Charlie Lindgren is good to go.
