The Washington Capitals have traveled cross border to take on the Montreal Canadiens and will get a much needed return of Evgeny Kuznetsov after the center missed three consecutive games with a shoulder injury.

Yikes
A scrap breaks out at Jets practice. No kidding. Blake Wheeler in the middle of it, looked like he was going after Ben Chairot. Scheifele in there too. Wheeler heads to room, welt near left eye.
