The Capitals are hosting the Ottawa Senators in a Tuesday night matchup during Black History in Hockey Night. Don’t miss the ceremonial puck drop from Willie O’Ree and John Lewis. Take a second and read up on some history.
Puck is droppin’ around 7PM. If you can’t be around, you can always stream the game live on your devices from the My Teams app. Even if you’re in a workout class, I’m sure the instructor won’t mind. The recap will be brought to you from esports super fan himself, Peter Hassett.

Storylines
- The Capitals vs. Rangers game on Sunday was nothing short of WILD. Peep the morning after numbers to see what went down.
- The other thing about the Capitals vs. Rangers game on Sunday? There were some shenanigans you missed.
- You might’ve seen the super cool Evgeny Kuznetsov bird sign around, but do you wanna know the behind-the scenes story on it? You should.
- John Tortorella continues to surprise me.
- The ultimate internet joke came to light after a goal from Sergei Shumakov in the Gagarin Cup playoffs. I shed a single tear.
- Don’t forget to scan through the trade deadline open thread to see what you missed!
- Marcus Johansson got traded to the Boston Bruins and thaaaat’s awkward for reasons concerning a man that rhymes with Schmad Schmarchand.
