With their narrow shootout win over the Canes, the Caps have won six straight. Yup, they did that. But gunning for seven will be a challenge, as tonight’s opponent is formidable: the Habs.
Montreal leads the Atlantic Division, is a strong possession team, and has Carey Price in goal. Washington is in fourth in the ridiculously good Metro, is a strong possession team, and have Braden Holtby in goal. This should be a fun one.
Hopefully, tonight’s officiating is somewhat in accordance with the NHL rulebook, which you can read here.
In the meantime, puck drop at 7 on CSN. Be there or be square.
