Still on the road? You betcha! This time, the Capitals are taking a pit stop in Toronto to face off against the Nazem Kadri-less Maple Leafs. The Leafs are without Kadri after he was diagnosed with a concussion on Tuesday. Hopefully the Caps can grab another road victory as their longest road trip of the season begins to wind down.
Folks, we are back to a normal time. Puck drop will be at 7PM and you can stream all of NBC Sports Washington’s coverage of this thing from your bed with the My Teams app. I have your recap! Please hang out with me it is my birthday eve.

Storylines
- I continue to love Alex Ovechkin for the things he does.
- Willie O’Ree will drop the puck for the Capitals’ Black History in Hockey night on Feb. 26!
- You should get an RMNB beanie…Ovi is holding one. Plus I have one and we can match.
- The Capitals got Carl Hagelin and his gorgeous, majestic mane! He is very excited.
- As you probably know by now, Devante Smith-Pelly cleared waivers and now he is heading down to Hershey.
- MOAR RENOVATIONS FOR CAP ONE ARENA! Maybe we can get even more cup holders???
- The Stanley Cup Champions Chalk Talk is still happening, but it looks like Jakub Vrana will be mingling with fans instead of Devante Smith-Pelly. Kinda weird imo.
