Welcome to December! The Caps look to kick off the final month of 2024 with a strong outing against the visiting Sharks – and don’t be deceived by their place in the standings. San Jose is no pushover team, having won three of their last four (two of those with 7+ goals), and their rookies, Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, seem to be the real deal.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Sharks
  • Where: Capital One Arena
  • When: 7:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

The squad that took down the Devils will probably be together for tonight’s battle with the Sharks, and back to Logan Thompson in net:

McMichael – Strome – Wilson
Protas – Dubois – Raddysh
Lapierre – Eller – Mangiapane
Duhaime – Dowd – Miroshnichenko

Fehervary – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk

Thompson
Lindgren

On this date in 1974: The Caps faced the Buffalo Sabres, and almost came back from a 4-1 deficit before ultimately falling 5-3. [Game Notes]
