Live blog: Capitals West Coast trip begins with the Ducks

The Capitals are kicking off their west coast road trip tonight in Anaheim to face off against the Ducks. I’m exhausted, but let’s be exhausted together!

Both the Capitals and the Ducks are showing up tonight hoping to extend their win streak. The Capitals have won four straight, while the Ducks are on a seven-game streak.

The big news surrounding the Capitals is that Lars Eller won’t be playing tonight due to the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol; Garrett Pilon will be taking his place.

Puck drop is at 10 PM EST (I know, I know). Keep up with all the game action in the highlights below.
