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.
