The Capitals are at home and hosting the Buffalo Sabres this evening. Doesn’t it feel like we just did this? It’s because we did and not even a week ago. The Capitals are hoping to get a W after their loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night but whatever, it’s brushed off and the Capitals are still at the top of the Metro. Hopefully, the return of Andre Burakovsky to the lineup can help solve some of the speed issues that the Caps were facing last game.
The puck will be dropping at 7 PM and you can watch on NBCSN. If you need a stream, we have ya covered. Stream the pregame and the post game live on NBCSWA+ or on your mobile devices.

Andre Burakovsky and Chandler Stephenson are back in the expected lineup tonight. Isabelle from the Washington Post said Coach Reirden mentioned he felt speed was lacking against Pens. This could be why Burakovsky and Stephenson are back:
Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
Vrana – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Burakovsky – Eller – Connolly
Stephenson – Dowd – DSP
Kempny – Carlson
Orlov – Niskanen
Siegenthaler – Bowey
Holtby
Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner joined the National Ballet of Canada during their performance of “The Nutcracker” Marner and Matthews were Cannon Dolls and if you think this sounds hilarious, it was. I just wasn’t ready for it to also melt my heart???

One of my favorite videos that I found in the year of our lord 2018 is this one. I am very excited to share it with you. This year was very long, but this small child is a true bright spot. She’s going to kill it at karaoke when she’s older.
