Fresh off an 8-3 drubbing of the Penguins up in Pittsburgh, the Caps return home for the first of five games in DC, a matinee against the Oilers. Edmonton comes into this one following their own lopsided matinee game yesterday, but uh…they were on the wrong end of it. Here’s hoping the Caps can hold off a likely peeved Oilers crew to extend their point streak.
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Oilers
- Where: Capital One Arena
- When: 1:00 p.m.

Ovechkin – Strome – Wilson
Protas – Dubois – McMichael
Mangiapane – Eller – Frank
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk
