The Caps are looking to bounce back from the 3-1 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Dallas is in town, a team who beat the Caps 5-4 back in January. The Stars are all but out of the playoff picture in the Western Conference and are playing their second game in as many nights. But don’t be fooled. The Stars are a top-ten possession team over the past six weeks, and if the Caps take them lightly, they’ll see another two points slip away on home ice.
Puck drop is at 7 PM on CSN.
Team | Record | Possession | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
Washington Capitals | 36-22-10 | 51.8 | 100.4 | 25.0% | 81.8% |
Dallas Stars | 31-27-10 | 51.9 | 99.3 | 17.8% | 80.6% |
Optional morning skate this morning, so here’s my best guess on lines for tonight:
Ovechkin – Backstrom – Johansson
Glencross – Kuznetsov – Brouwer
Chimera – Fehr – Ward
Burakovsky – Laich – Wilson
Schmidt – Carlson
Alzner – Niskanen
Gleason – Green
Holtby
Here’s one of my favorite songs by Against Me! It’s called Because of the Shame. Why? Because.
