Even when you have a mutual breakup with your ex, it’s still a tad awkward to see them at the first party post-split. That’s how this might be, this evening in Brooklyn, for the Capitals when they face a New York Islanders team coached by Barry Trotz, Lane Lambert, and Mitch Korn. In fact, Coach Trotz even thinks this might be a little awkward, but life goes on!
The puck will be dropping at 7 PM. Flip your television or streaming device to NBCSWA to catch every second of the good guys in action. Julia is on deck tonight to bring you the recap.

Thanks to Izzy at the Washington Post, your morning skate lineups will look pretty familiar:
Ovechkin – Backstrom – Wilson
Vrana – Eller – Connolly
Burakovsky – Boyd – DSP
Jaskin – Dowd – Stephenson
Orlov – Niskanen
Kempny – Carlson
Djoos – Bowey
Holtby
Keep your eyes peeled for Backstrom possibly doing another really great thing tonight, even though in my eyes he does something great every single day by simply existing!
Nicklas Backstrom can tie Peter Bondra (825) for second on the @Capitals all-time points list with a single point tonight. The list is led by captain Alex Ovechkin (1,149). #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/Kw90qfgXjy

Woof. But, you should go to the RMNB shop and snag yourself something for the holidays. Might I suggest the ugly Christmas Sweaters, which you can only grab until December 3???
