Capitals vs. Sharks Game Thread 3/15

Right this way to your Caps-Sharks open thread…

After seeing their five-game winning streak rudely snapped in LA, the Caps now head to San Jose looking to get back on track against Celebrini and the young, feisty Sharks.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals vs. Sharks
  • Where: SAP Center
  • When: 5:00 p.m.
  • How to Watch: Monumental
  • How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

Most likely the same lines again (and again, just to start, as Coach Carbery will likely tinker in-game) with Logan Thompson taking over between the pipes:

Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier

Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun – van Riemsdyk

Thompson
Lindgren

On this date in 1975: “Beware the ides of March” indeed….on this night, the Caps gave up 12 goals – and 65 shots – to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 12-1 loss (which amazingly was their second loss by that score in their inaugural season). [Game Notes]
