    The Washington Capitals open up post holiday activities with a home match against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yes, those same Blue Jackets that have beat the league leading Caps twice already by a combined score of 8-2.

    Puck drop is at 7PM and I will be taking the reins of the ole recap mobile once more.

    Record 17-14-6 26-7-5
    Shot Attempt % 50.5% 52.1%
    PDO 98.9 100.8
    Power Play 17.7% (20th) 20.9% (12th)
    Penalty Kill 81.0% (15th) 84.9% (2nd)

    Projected Lines

    Thanks to Samantha Pell at the Washington Post for your lineup. Goaltending change and a bunch of dudes are sick so we have a couple game time decisions.

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Wilson
    Vrana – Kuznetsov – Oshie
    Hagelin – Eller – Panik
    Leipsic – Dowd – Hathaway

    ? – Carlson
    Orlov – Jensen
    Siegenthaler – Djoos

    Samsonov

    Storylines

    • Anna Kendrick responds to Islanders’ Anthony Beauvillier after he shoots his shot on Twitter.
    • Columbus has dominated the Capitals this season so Todd Reirden is starting Ilya Samsonov to ‘to give them a different look’.
    • Ted Leonsis nominates an overhead shot of Braden Holtby’s ‘The Save’ as the best sports photo of the decade.
    • Michal Kempny and Radko Gudas are sick so Christian Djoos has been called up from the Hershey Bears.
    • Caps 2019 first round pick and OHL scoring phenom, Connor McMichael scored Canada’s first goal of this year’s World Junior Championship.
    • Trying to get down with some mid season international hockey featuring that same McMichael? Here is the live TV schedule to watch the 2020 World Junior Championship.
    • Alex Ovechkin shared a drink with current unrestricted free agent, winger Ilya Kovalchuk on Christmas day. What if…nah he’s v bad now.
    • Merry Christmas from a lot of the Caps and their fam to your fam. Fam jam bam.

    Chris’ favorite wrestlers of 2019

    This is my last pregame in December so I had to shoot my shot for the very few wrestling fans out there in RMNB land. This one is for all three of you, me, and Ian.

    • The entirety of The Undisputed Era. I cheated here because Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish all deserve a mention.
    • Johnny Gargano. One of the all time great babyface characters already. His struggle for the NXT title was just the best.
    • Velveteen Dream. Washington DC’s own is well on his way to becoming one of the biggest and brightest stars in the industry. Dream over.
    • Rhea Ripley. What a meteoric rise and the current star of NXT’s women’s division which is arguably the best division in professional wrestling at the moment.
    • Tyler Bate. He had my favorite match of the year with WALTER at NXT UK’s Cardiff Takeover. Bright young British talent with all the potential in the world.
