The Spirit of ’87
Happy Easter, which is traditionally a good holiday for the Washington Capitals, yes, definitely. The Capitals squandered a comeback and a chance to lock a playoff spot last night, but no worries– it’s not like the Wings are a strong 5v5 team with good coaching and a distinct home-field advantage.
Puck drop at 5 PM on CSN.
Team | Record | Possession | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
Washington Capitals | 43-25-11 | 51.9% | 100.2 | 25.2% | 81.3% |
Detroit Red Wings | 41-24-13 | 54.1% | 99.8 | 24.1% | 80.9% |
No morning skate, so here’s how the Caps lined up last night.
Ovechkin — Kuznetsov — Ward
Johansson — Backstrom — Brouwer
Glencross — Fehr — Chimera
Laich — Latta — Wilson
Orpik – Carlson
Alzner – Niskanen
Green – Gleason
Holtby?
