    The Capitals are still in New Jersey to play in the second game of a back-to-back weekend series against the Devils. The Capitals are currently 5-1-1 in their past seven games and are leading the MassMutual NHL® East Division with 26 points. Keep it up, boys.

    Evgeny Kuznetsov will not be playing again today (upper body injury) and Ilya Samsonov will start in goal.

    Puck drop is at 3 PM and Christopher from the comments will have your recap.

    Record 7-7-2 11-5-4
    Shot Attempt % 51.6% 49.5%
    PDO 100.9 102.0
    Power Play 17.0% 30.8%
    Penalty Kill 60.0% 79.1%

    Projected Lines

    Daniel Sprong will be in for Kuznetsov again and Samsonov will be in goal. Vanecek will back him up. News on the Devils’ side, Nico Hischier won’t be playing today:

    Ovechkin – Eller – Sheary
    Vrana – Backstrom – Wilson
    Panik – Oshie – Sprong
    Hagelin – Dowd – Hathaway

    Dillon – Carlson
    Orlov – Schultz
    Chara – Jensen

    Samsonov
    Vanecek
