    Caps vs Isles Pregame: Vrana!

    By Patrick Holden

    Jakub Vrana is set to make his NHL debut tonight when the Isles come to town and presumably lose to the Caps. The Caps selected Vrana in the first round, 13th overall, of the 2014 entry draft. He’s posted 16 points in 18 games with Hershey this season and is the Caps top offensive prospect. Maybe he’ll do great! Maybe he won’t! But this definitely adds some extra intrigue to tonight’s matchup.

    Speaking of things that are defininite, Tom Wilson will definitely do something tonight that will cause the Isles, as well as a portion of their fans on Twitter, to lose their minds.

    The action starts at 7:00 pm on CSN.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    New York Islanders 8-10-4 45.6% 100.0 12.1% 80.8%
    Washington Capitals 13-6-2 53.4% 102.5 15.6% 82.6%

    Projected Lines

    Per Isabelle, here’s what we’re working with tonight:

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Johansson
    Burakovsky – Kuznetsov – Vrana
    Connolly – Eller – Williams
    Winnik – Beagle – Wilson

    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orlov – Carlson
    Orpik – Schmidt

    Holtby

    Your Thoughts?

    Interestingly, Trotz seemed to suggest that Kuznetsov is better on zone entries on PP1 than Johansson.

    Storylines

    • Vrana is here! And he’s been working on his FIFA skills. But, perhaps more importantly, he’s been lighting it up in Hershey while getting in some great naps.
    • Speaking of video games, Alex Ovechkin has a new endorsement deal that involves being a warrior…?
    • Braden Holtby is going to light up a tree at the Canadian embassy.
    • Check out Pierre McGuire get the cold shoulder from Pierre McGuire.

    The Best Two Songs That End an Album

    Music game time, here’s the criteria: you have to pick two songs to listen to for the rest of your life. But they can’t be just any two songs. The songs have to be the last two songs from the same album. A pretty strong contender for me would be Nightswimming and Find the River off of REM’s Automatic for the People. What songs you got?
