Tuesday night, the Capitals went into Winnipeg looking to even the score after an overtime loss at home to the Jets back in early February and fell just short, falling again in OT despite a late game-tying tally by the captain. Tonight is a similar tale, as the Caps head to Minnesota, already having lost in the shootout to the Wild back in DC earlier this season – here’s hoping they can get their revenge this time (and hey, another goal for Alex Ovechkin would be nice, too).
First, some admin stuff:
- Who: Capitals vs. Wild
- Where: Xcel Energy Center
- When: 7:30 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental, ESPN+, Hulu, Disney+
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
All lines and defensive pairs present and accounted for, so they’ll line up with the same guys as usual, and hometown boy Charlie Lindgren gets the call in net:
Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Raddysh
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier
Sandin – Carlson
Fehervary – Roy
Chychrun/Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk
Lindgren
Thompson
On this date in 1975: The Caps had the evening off.
