    The more Metro, the merrier. After defeating the Islanders in OT, the Caps are playing yet another division rival on Saturday. This time it’s the Devils, who are an incredibly unexciting team and one the Caps really should take two points from.

    Fun fact: the Caps have slayed (slain? slew?) their division rivals on the way to the top. Yup, they’ve posted a 15-1-4 record against other Metro teams. The race for the division title is hardly close, but keep those points coming like they’re unlimited popcorn at a Star Trek marathon.

    Puck drops at 7 PM(ish.) Tune into CSN-DC.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 42-10-4 51.8% 102.0 23.6% 84.1%
    New Jersey Devils 29-23-7 46.4% 100.4 21.1% 82.5%

    Projected Lineup

    Trotz’s top-six wife-swap experiment continues. Cuz Katie sez so:

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

    Alzner – Niskanen
    Schmidt – Carlson
    Orlov – Orpik

    Happy Sentimental Saturday. Do enjoy this picture of Baltimore figure skaters playing hockey, all the way back in 1940.

    Swedes Go Greek

    When is it a good time to celebrate the Caps’ Swedes? Always. Andre Burakovsky’s sophomore slump is nonexistent, Nicklas Backstrom has 54 points in 53 games (casual), and Marcus Johansson is killing it on the power play. Let’s also take this time to appreciate another fantastiskt group of Swedes: the pop band Abba, who recently opened a Greek restaurant in Stockholm. Yum.
