Your savory breakfast links:

  • Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s loss from Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Carlson, Ovechkin, Dowd), NHL, AP, WaPo, THN, RMNB, Blackout Dallas, DLLS.
  • The Caps made a move yesterday, putting Aliaksei Protas on IR and recalling Brett Leason. [Caps]
  • Both Protas and Tom Wilson seem to be close to returning, though, and they could return in time for the team’s road trip this weekend. [THN]
  • Finally, the big guys didn’t look so great last night, but Alex Ovechkin’s son did and had some pretty big names cheering him on from the bench – none bigger than Pops himself. [NHL]
