The road trip continues for the Capitals with a stop in Winnipeg to play the Jets! This means that the top-two goal scorers since the beginning of the 2016-17 season will be meeting again. That would be Alex Ovechkin and Patrik Laine. The Capitals might look a tad tired tonight since they played a pretty great game 24 hours ago. I will also be tired tonight after tweeting during a Capitals game only 24 hours ago.
The puck will be dropping again at 8:00 PM on NBC Sports Washington. You can stream the game with NBCS Washington on any of your devices beginning with the pregame at 7:00 PM. Another recap from Peter? You betcha.

An interesting trade with interesting wording. Poor Oilers fans are having some extremely intense flashbacks.
Hagelin for Pearson. One for one. Done deal.

Montreal Canadien Fan Reactions
Maybe it’s because I love how Gordon Ramsay reacts to children vs. adults. Or, maybe it’s because I’m dying to do a case study on fans of the Montreal Canadiens team, but this video is GOLD. Worth a full watch.
