The Washington Capitals dropped their fixture against the Edmonton Oilers last night in rather disappointing fashion. They will be able to rectify that disappointment immediately as they take on the Vancouver Canucks only a night later.
Puck drop is at 10 PM and I will have your late night recap again. Oh and the Nats are playing at home in the World Series.

- Captain at Nats Park before Game Three of the World Series? You are gosh darn right.
- The Oilers weren’t too upset about Alex Ovechkin torching them for two goals, because…he’s…you know…Alex Ovechkin.
- What sort of statistical shenanigans went down in Edmonton last night?
