The Washington Capitals are taking on the Florida Panthers on Black Friday. Puck drop is shortly after 5 pm, which should not be allowed on both a work and weekday.
Ilya Samsonov will get the start in net tonight, while Conor Sheary, Justin Schultz, and Lars Eller are out. Dennis Cholowski will get a jersey for the second time in his Capitals career and skate on the third pairing with Trevor van Riemsdyk.
The Caps will be playing in their navy blue third jerseys for the second time this season. (They may or may not be bad luck.)

Love the Capitals thirds?
Some new third jersey hats and beanies dropped recently.
Not good not good not good
Alex Ovechkin just got hit in the face with a shot block. He fell to the ice in pain before jumping up under his own power and running down the tunnel for repairs.

The first thing Alex Ovechkin did when he returned to the ice was take a faceoff. He won it emphatically. It might have been the cleanest win of the entire season. #Playmaker

More bad luck
Nic Dowd tried to skate the puck out of the zone and it clinked off of Alex Ovechkin’s skate, causing a 2-on-0 for the Panthers. Huberdeau converts.
