The Caps are in partly cloudy, 72-degree Tampa today for the first game of their mentors’ trip (pictured above), hosted by the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in a weird situation. Last year’s regular-season dominators, the Lightning of 2019-20 are ambling along outside the playoff window at the moment. They will be highly motivated to win this one.
Puck drop’s at 7 PM. Ya boy Chris Cerullo is on the recap.

The Capitals are about to hit the road again, for another three-game trip away from Capital One Arena, but before they head out, they play host to the Boston Bruins at home. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Boston Bruins are lookin’ real good. David Pastrnak is currently leading the league in goals (25) and the Bruins have an edge against the Capitals in both the power play and the penalty kill. Let the battle commence.
Puck drop is at 7 PM and Julia will have a recap for you.

The Capitals have made it home after a successful 3-0 road trip. Tonight, the Columbus Blue Jackets are stopping by Capital One Arena. The Capitals are currently on a six game winning streak, we are celebrating our 10th birthday, and Nicklas Backstrom is BACK(strom) in the lineup. That last one was a reach, I apologize, but everything is looking pretty dandy these days.
Finally, the game is back to a normal time. Puck drop is at 7PM and Pete will have a recap for you.

The Caps are tearing through the league at the moment and their next bullseye has landed firmly on the Anaheim Ducks. This is the first matchup since the infamous spitting incident so expect some hockey guys to do some dumb hockey things tonight.
Tom Wilson says he’ll be “ready for whatever” and Garnet Hathaway says that “we’ll see how the game goes”.
Another 10PM eastern start for us all and caffeinated Chris will be back for your recap.

Did someone order a big ol’ dose of #RMNBAfterDark? If you did, you’re in luck! The Capitals have traveled out to California to kick off their three late night game marathon, starting with the San Jose Sharks. The Capitals will still be without Nicklas Backstrom, but the good news is that Carl Hagelin is returning to the third line!
Take a quick nap or put a pot of coffee on because puck drop is at 10:30 PM. Peter will have the recap.

The Caps wrap up the month of November this evening with a sludge game in Detroit. Both teams played yesterday, so this might be an interesting one. And by interesting I really just mean ugly.
Puck drop is at 7 PM, and your boy Chris has recap duty.
