The biggest rivalry in hockey will be renewed on Sunday as the Washington Capitals take on the Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time this season. It’s also Hockey Fights Cancer night at Capital One Arena.
Caps goaltender Vitek Vanecek will be back in net after missing the last two games due to an upper-body injury. The Penguins will also get a major boost to their lineup with Sidney Crosby, Brian Dumoulin, Marcus Pettersson, and Chad Ruhwedel all returning. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan will return behind the bench too.
Tonight’s game is airing on NBC Sports Washington. Puck drop is shortly after 7 PM. Chat us up in the comments!
