It’s a Hockey Night In Canada! The Washington Capitals take on the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre tonight days after one of their worst losses of the season – a 7-3 throttling by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Dmitry Orlov will get back in the lineup after missing the last two games due to a lower-body injury. Meanwhile, the lines are, uhhhhh, definitely something Peter Laviolette came up with that he thinks is good.
