Tom Wilson is a warrior. After taking a puck to the face in the second period, the burly forward returned for the beginning of the third.
Wilson took the opening faceoff and showed off a souvenir right above the bridge of his nose.
Jakub Vrana scored the 12th goal of his season, tying the road game in style with a mid-air swat.
You’re gonna wanna see this.
Tom Wilson left the ice in a hurry after a puck hit him in his face.
ALmost halfway into the second period, the Caps’ top line occupied the defensive zone as the Kings mounted an attack. High in the slot was Nicklas Backstrom, who stuck his stick out to intercept a slapshot from Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin. The puck bounced off Backstrom’s stick to hit Wilson in the face.
Former SNL cast member Will Ferrell is in the house tonight for the Caps-Kings game. NBC Sports Washington found Ferrell in the stands, sitting in the corner of the rink where the Kings shoot twice.
Capitals head coach Barry Trotz addressed media Thursday afternoon ahead of their game against the Los Angeles Kings. Trotz confirmed that Philip Grubauer would be starting in net, while Braden Holtby will be given time to “reset.”
Holtby has been pulled in three of his last six games. His frustration peaked on Monday, after being pulled against the Ducks, when he needed a few moments to cool off before returning to the bench.
Trotz took the time to reaffirm that he had no doubt Holtby would return to the elite levels of goaltending we’ve come to expect, following a short break.

If we are to take away anything from the effort the Caps put out on Tuesday night it’s that they sure played like they might be enjoying that warm Cali weather a little too much. Now to right their west coast road trip they have another Golden State foe to match up with in the Los Angeles Kings. We are also still on Ovechkin #600 watch.
Last real late one of this road trip. A 10:30 PM start on NBCSWA and Peter will once again have your after dark recap.
