If you wanted some more New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals action, you’re in luck because they are back at it again this evening! The Caps are 8-1 in their last nine games and are hoping to add another win to their 5-0-0 streak against the Devils this season.
Something else I would also like to see again, other than a Caps win? An Alex Ovechkin goal. He has seven goals in his past seven games. I am greedy and I need another.
The puck will be dropping at 7 PM and Chris will have your recap.

Projected Lines
Here are the lines from yesterday, we will be gettin’ more info closer to game time. Important to note that yesterday, Samantha Pell from the Washington Post mentioned we might see a rotation in the 3C slot with Eller out. That might happen again tonight and Samsonov will probably take over in goal to get some fresh legs guarding the net:
Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Oshie
Vrana – Backstrom – Wilson
Sheary – Sgarbossa – Panik/Sprong
Hagelin – Dowd – Hathaway
Dillon – Carlson
Orlov – Schultz
Chara – Jensen
Vanecek/Samsonov

Storylines
- What does Lars Eller really think of that ‘horse and moose’ comment from TJ Oshie?
- Evgeny Kuznetsov got real about coaching and he’s beginning to understand what Lavs is looking for in his game.
- Make that goal #721 for Alex Ovechkin. Wayne Gretzky, u up?
- If you’re curious about how the Caps did last night, take look at Chris’ morning after numbers post.
- Good guy alert: Jakub Vrana sent a tiny Caps fan a signed hockey stick! Why? Here’s a hint, it has to do with #13.
- Alex Ovechkin: Artist. Hang it in the Louvre.
- As a burger connoisseur, I need someone to go try Tom Wilson‘s 43 Burger and let me know how it is.
Coming soon
Okay, so, I didn’t know this was happening and I figured maybe a few of you would like to know too. HBO is coming out with a series about the 1980’s Los Angeles Lakers team. The casting is very good and I am very excited for it. Special shoutout to Bo Burnham as Larry Bird.
The #LakeShow is heading to Hollywood: Meet the cast of HBO’s upcoming @Lakers series, chronicling the professional and personal lives of the 1980s L.A. team, one of sports’ most revered dynasties, in what came to be called the Showtime Era. https://t.co/vDVu2rLqha pic.twitter.com/Fyy9q8LVY4
