    It’s not even the end of October, but the Blue Jackets have already fired their coach and brought in John Tortorella. So, yeah. things have been bad for ol’ CBJ. They’ve won their last two, albeit against really weak teams (Colorado and New Jersey), and Sergei Bobrovsky won’t be the worst goalie on the planet for the entire season. So, don’t expect a cakewalk tonight.

    As for your Caps, they are looking to bounce back after Wednesday’s loss to the Pens in which they played pretty well.

    Welcome back, Joe B and Locker. We’re back on CSN and the action starts at 7 PM.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 6-2-0 54.7% 101.4 28% 85.2%
    Columbus Blue Jackets 2-8-0 50.7% 94.7 20.5% 69.7%

    Projected Lineup

    SCHMIDTUATION CHANGE! Also, Latta is in and Stephenson is out

    Per Katie Brown:

    Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Oshie
    Johansson – Backstrom – Williams
    Chimera – Beagle – Wilson
    Burakovsky – Laich – Latta

    Orpik – Carlson
    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orlov – Schmidt

    Holtby

    Party Hard

    It’s Friday. Time to get hype, y’all.

    Storylines

    • Evgeny Kuznetosv: He’s real and he’s spectacular.
    • A great interview with Kuznetsov here. My favorite part is that players were prepped on how to react to a shaving cream pie.
    • Splitting up Ovechkin and Backstrom creates matchup issues for the opposition.
    • The Caps PP has some new wrinkles in it this season.
    • Jay Beagle is doing good things on the dot, the importance of which is debatable.
    • Speaking of Beagle, here he is doin’ some huntin’ with CSN’s Jill Sorenson
    • An update on some Caps’ prospects.
    • RIP SkyCam.

    The Best of Torts

    I love this man. Ten minutes of pure gold right here
