Your savory breakfast links:
- Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s loss from us, Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Wilson, Vrana, Sandin), NHL, AP, WaPo, NESN, THN, NoVa Caps, RMNB, and Caps Outsider.
- Needless to say, last night was not the Caps at their finest:
The Capitals 11 shots on goal tonight where their fewest since they had 10 in a 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on March 22, 2007. Only sixth time in their history that they've been held to 11 shots or fewer. #NHLStats

- Craig Laughlin missed last night’s game, and will miss the next two, as well, for personal reasons. Keeping a good thought for Locker and looking forward to seeing him back on Tuesday. [WaPo]
- A few leftovers from Sunday evening’s win over the Kings. [Rink, RMNB, THN]
- Aliaksei Protas is stepping into the spotlight as he continues his strong season. [THN]
- The Caps should make re-signing Jakob Chychrun a priority. [RMNB]
- Finally, a quick scheduling note: As the Caps and the rest of the NHL will be on break through Thursday, our team will also be allowed to take a short break, so there will not be Clips tomorrow or Thursday morning. We will have an open thread for those of you who wish to chat over the holiday break, however – and we wish you all happy holidays (or happy Wednesday/Thursday)!
