The Washington Capitals will try to end a three-game losing streak tonight against the team that dispersed them rudely from the first round of the 2021 playoffs.

The Capitals will do so without Dmitry Orlov and own-goal scorer Carl Hagelin who both entered COVID protocol today. Zach Fucale will get his first back-to-back start in net of his career.

The game will be the Capitals’ 37th of the year and their third in four nights.

Watch along with us on NBC Sports Washington.

TJ Oshie is back. Can you tell?
