Game preview
The Washington Capitals (10-7-0) are back home Saturday night for a rematch against the New Jersey Devils (14-6-0), just two days after falling 5-2 in Newark.
The Capitals held a 2-1 lead early in the second period Thursday after goals from Ryan Leonard and Pierre-Luc Dubois, but the Devils scored four unanswered goals to take the first game of the home-and-home series. Washington will now look to return the favor at Capital One Arena against a New Jersey team that has won 10 of its last 12 games.
Charlie Lindgren will get the start for the Capitals, giving Logan Thompson a night off after five consecutive starts. At the other end, Connor Hellebuyck will be back in net for New Jersey. The Devils will also have 20-year-old defenseman Anton Silaev making his NHL debut.
Puck drop is at 7 pm on Monumental Sports Network. Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin have the call. Happy birthday, Joe B! <3
