It’s a Washington Capitals game day! (And by game day, I mean, a late-night west coast weekend game that almost all of you, except the most hardcore of the hardcore, are going to stay up for.)
The Capitals will keep their lines mostly the same for the Canucks except for one change: Conor Sheary has been flipped up to the first line while Tom Wilson will skate on the third. Vitek Vanecek will get the start.
Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington Plus. It’s RMNB After Dark so LETSSSSS GET WEIRD.

Kuzy scores from the goal line on the PP. 2-0 WSH.
Ovi almost had Jagr.
Kuznetsov really stole Ovi's 767th goal 💀😂 pic.twitter.com/QZ6q7sZblp
