The division-leading Capitals host the third-place Columbus Blue Jackets tonight at Capital One Arena, weather permitting. Pals, we got white stuff on the way.
The puck drops a few minutes after 7 PM. Tune in on NBCSWA or stream that badboy via the My Teams app on your connected device. A highly ranked Chris, Chris Cerullo, has recap duty.

The new all-star jerseys are available to buy now. I’m torn about these. They look fine overall, but I wonder if people want louder colors from their sports jerseys. Your thoughts?
From WaPo’s Capital Weather Gang:
Aww yeah, it’s happening. Stay off the roads this afternoon. Take the metro or stay home. Be safe, make some soup, let’s have some snow!
