The Washington Capitals will end their mini Western Conference road trip with a visit to the “Lone Star State” to take on a team made up of more than one Star. The Caps and Dallas Stars will wrap up their two game season set, not seeing each other again until a potential Cup final.
Puck drop is at 8 PM because we’re doing that central time thing again. I’m recapping tonight, get mildly whelmed.

Storylines
- Filip Forsberg just cannot stop scoring against the team that drafted him 11th overall in the 2012 NHL Draft.
- The great ones sleep with their league’s championship trophy. Just ask Elena Delle Donne and Alex Ovechkin.
- After the Mystics first ever WNBA championship victory, Barack Obama thinks that, ‘If folks aren’t careful, this title thing might become a habit in DC’. Yes please, Barack.
- Andre Burakovsky has opened his 2019-20 goal scoring account with the Colorado Avalanche and it was beaut.
- The Caps have squandered three third period leads in a row. That cant happen.

Everyone in the world should watch the It’s Alive series. Brad Leone is quite possibly my favorite person on YouTube and you get to learn about cooking and food as you laugh.
