The Capitals are back on the road for Game Six against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Caps are up in the series 3-2 and have the chance to close it out tonight. The boys need to stay focused, beat that gosh dang goalie (who had 48 out of 49 saves in Games Three and Four), and basically play exactly like they did on Saturday night. That was magic.

Puck drop is at 7 PM and you can stream the game using the My Teams app. Peter will have the usual perfect recap for you after the game.

From the regular season:

Record 48-26-8 46-29-7
Shot Attempt % 49.0% 54.8%
PDO 102.2 99.2
Power Play 20.8% (12th) 17.8% (20th)
Penalty Kill 78.9% (24th)   81.6% (8th)

Projected Lines

Thanks to Izzy at the Washington Post, no changes AND no hot lap for Game Six:

Ovechkin – Backstrom – Wilson
Vrana – Kuznetsov – Hagelin
Burakovsky – Eller – Connolly
Stephenson – Dowd – DSP

Siegenthaler – Carlson

Orpik – Jensen

Holtby

Obstruction

If you watched the Maple Leafs and Bruins game, you most definitely noticed the kid that stood up during the broadcast and blocked the screen. Following the game was tricky. But, the good news is that he is now a meme. Thank god.
