“We got our asses kicked in the first quarter, but it’s time we get up off the mat.”
The Caps lost game one. That’s the past. This is game two.
One of the dozen shots Ovi fires will hit the back of the net. Nick Backstrom will be used to maximum effect. Karl and Niskanen will remind us all how great they were during the regular season. Holtby will be healthy enough to play.
Islanders lead the series 1-0.
7 PM. Verizon Center, CSN, NBCSCN. Do the thing.
Team | Record | Possession | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |

Some changes, but perhaps not the ones you were hoping for. Via Alex Prewitt and delivered in cryptic emoji:

They skated 7 minutes of 5v5 together last game, so I think it’ll happen.
