After a long four-game road trip (2-1-1 record) and two days off, the Washington Capitals are back for some pre-Thanksgiving action against the Montreal Canadiens.

The Capitals return to Capital One Arena battered and bruised — without five of their forwards. Rookie forward Aliaksei Protas will skate on the first line with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov — his literal idols growing up.

Ilya Samsonov will start in net and try to continue his consecutive shutout streak going.

Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington Plus. Come chat with us below in the comments!
