This again? Ugh, I guess.
The Caps and Islanders will finish their season series and the back half of a back-to-back, home and home in what should be a really fun game for the official scorer. The chippiness from last night’s match up probably will roll over into tonight as this Metro-Division battle continues.
Get your dose of Caps hockey at 7 PM on NBCSWA. I will hundo be your recapper.

Projected Lines
Braden Holtby will be back in net. My best guess at the rest of the Caps lineup tonight.
Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Burakovsky – Backstrom – Oshie
Vrana – Eller – Connolly
Chiasson – Beagle – DSP
Kempny – Carlson
Orlov – Niskanen
Orpik – Djoos

My favorite moment of yesterday’s games involved Cara’s alma mater. Clutch.
Storylines
- Cal Clutterbuck is still a loser.
- The Caps are getting into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit by wearing green warmup jerseys during Go Green Night.
- Jakub Vrana had a great hockey blooper last night. He will probably never hear the end of this.
- The impossible has been achieved. TJ Oshie has broken his 19-game goalless streak with a two-goal game against the Islanders.
- Dmitry Orlov has set a new career high in goals after his most recent Scoarlov.
