Right this way to your Caps-Leafs open thread…

The Caps have been stumbling a bit of late, having dropped three in a row including two-straight in which they were outscored by a combined 10-1 margin. So…not really what we’re looking for, especially considering how tight the standings are. They return home tonight to face a Maple Leafs team going through some similar issues, having dropped three of their last five (although they are fresh off a win over Chicago back on Tuesday). Somebody’s gotta win this one, though, right?

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Maple Leafs
  • Where: Capital One Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental

Back home in DC – time for the Caps to get things rolling in the right direction again!
