Your savory breakfast links:

  • Recaps and other assorted musings from last night’s OT win over the Ottawa Senators from us, Vogs, WaPo ($), AP, NHL, FLM, Senators, SI, THN (and again), NoVa Caps, RMNB (and again), and Silver Seven Sens.
  • A few notes from yesterday’s morning skate. [Vogs, Caps video (Rinkside update with McMichael, Coach Carbery, Chychrun)
  • Ethen Frank might be speedy, but he’s taking his NHL debut journey one moment at a time. [WaPo]
  • Frank’s path to the NHL was anything but linear, but he got here all the same. [THN]
  • Let’s take a minute to honor the dynamic duo that is Joe B and Locker, as Saturday’s Caps game against the Penguins will be Locker’s last in the broadcast booth for a couple of months while he recovers from heart surgery. [WaPo]
  • The Capitals did what always seems to be impossible: retooling their roster on the fly and escaping from the “mushy middle” of the league. [Athletic ($)]
  • Hendrix Lapierre is determined to make his way back into the Capitals’ lineup. [RMNB]
  • Forward Ryan Hofer was re-assigned to the Hershey Bears yesterday. [Bears, RMNB]
  • Finally, happy 33rd birthday to Stanislav Galiev!

Happy Friday, boys and girls and babes!
