Your savory breakfast links:

  • A bright spot in last night’s game was the first appearance of Lars Eller, who wasn’t able to suit up yet but could take in his new-old team’s performance. [Caps video (Eller)]
  • Dylan Strome is doing everything in his power to shake off the unfair mantel of draft bust. [THN]
  • At 39 years old, Alex Ovechkin is not slowing down – and is definitely one of a kind. [WaPo]
  • Andrew Mangiapane talks about being traded to and settling in with the Caps. [NHLPA]
  • The top of the Metro Division is crowded with four talented teams – including the Caps – and each one of them has a legitimate shot at taking the division title. [Puck Prose]
  • Both Jakub Vrana and Dylan McIlrath have been given the green light to check out of their hotel and find a place in the DC area. [THN]
  • Connor McMichael has been very, very good this season. Maybe not Connor McDavid level…but no slouch, either. [RMNB]
  • What Lars Eller’s arrival means for Hendrix Lapierre. [THN]
  • Finally, happy 80th birthday to Rod Seiling, happy 68th to Jim Bedard, happy 48th to Brad Church, happy 22nd to Vincent Iorio, and raise a glass to the memory of Bryan “Bugsy” Watson, who would’ve been 82 today.
