After winning a game last night in which the first period may have put you to sleep, the Caps visit the Panthers tonight to renew acquaintances with their old Southeast Division rival.
Enter predictable trick-or-treat pun here.
The Panthers played last night as well, so playing on back-to-back nights doesn’t put the Caps at a disadvantage.
Enter something about “dressing up a win” here.
CSN has your coverage for the 7 PM tilt.
Enter something dumb here about the game being in Sunrise but the fact that it’ll be dark out and the dark is spooky on Halloween oh my god this would be the worst joke ever I am definitely not going to do this.
| Team | Record | Possession | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
| Washington Capitals | 7-2-0 | 55.0% | 101.7 | 25.9% | 86.7% |
| Florida Panthers | 5-4-1 | 49.6% | 104.5 | 25.6% | 76.2% |
Projected Lineup
There’s no morning skate today, so we won’t know the lineup until warmups. Barry Trotz did say that Philipp Grubauer will get the nod in goal. Otherwise, assume no changes from last night until told otherwise.
Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Oshie
Johansson – Backstrom – Williams
Chimera – Beagle – Wilson
Burakovsky – Laich – Latta
Orpik – Carlson
Alzner – Niskanen
Orlov – Schmidt
Grubauer
No Other Choice
C’mon. It’s Halloween. What other song did you think you were getting?
Storylines
- Oh boy, that TJ Oshie goal last night sure was pretty.
- It would not have been pretty if Oshie had decapitated Andre Burakovsky.
- Speaking of Oshie, this is just a reminder that he’s not going to score 30 goals this season and that Peter is wrong (both about this and just about everything else).
- Brooks Orpik, just like everyone else, is frustrated by the amount of penalties he’s taken so far this season.
- Here’s YA BOY Vogs with a piece on the Caps penalty kill. A lot of good quotes within.
- Braden Holtby throwing some shade at Adam Oates.
- Happy Halloween from Ann Schaab.
Dressing up?
