The Washington Capitals are taking on the Anaheim Ducks tonight without three regulars due to COVID protocol: Nic Dowd, Garnet Hathaway, and Trevor van Riemsdyk. Hathaway was the latest Cap to be added this morning, negating the Capitals best defensive line.
Head coach Peter Laviolette is starting Ilya Samsonov for the sixth time in the last seven games.
Tonight marks the Capitals’ Ugly Holiday Sweater T-Shirt Night.
Watch along with us on NBC Sports Washington.
Reminder: Trevor Zegras did this to to the Caps last time.
